Rödl & Partner helps hospitals

Rödl & Partner has been supporting the Polish healthcare system since the beginning of the pandemic. In two editions of our “Help for hospitals” campaign we have donated goods to seven healthcare facilities in six cities. Employees have also contributed.

The basic objective of our campaigns was to answer the real needs. Every gift we delivered was consulted about with the selected healthcare facility. We bought specialised medical equipment, furniture, appliances such as refrigerators, washing machines, as well as textiles and cosmetics for patients, cleaning supplies – anything that could improve functioning during the pandemic.

Our employees also engaged in the campaign by launching an internal fund raising initiative. Rödl & Partner’s employees organised a fundraiser in December 2020 dubbed “Christmas coffee for paramedics” to buy coffee and tea for two ambulance stations – in Cracow and Gliwice. The firm supported the campaign by doubling the amount raised.
