ABOUT US

The Termeer Foundation is a nonprofit organization working to vibrantly connect and empower the world of healthcare innovators until every patient has a cure.

 

 

Our Vision

Connect the world of healthcare innovators until every patient has a cure

Our Mission

Identify and empower people who can bring life-changing treatments to patients

OUR VALUES

started with Henri Termeer and the Termeer Foundation programs support leaders who illustrate these values.

RESPONSIBILITY

If you are capable of making a difference, you are obligated to do so – for patients, for colleagues, for yourself, for the world.

PASSION

Stoke the fire in your heart and never give up.

INNOVATION

Think big, take calculated risks, solve problems, learn from failure.

HUMILITY

Learn and value
wisdom and experience from others and from yourself; keep growing and changing.

CONNECTIVITY

See the value in other people from all walks of life, seek the value in meaningful relationships.

The Termeer Foundation is committed to ensuring the inclusiveness of its network, particularly in recognition of the underrepresentation of women, people with disabilities, LGBTQIA+ and Black, Brown and Indigenous People of Color within the biopharmaceutical industry.

“Don’t limit yourself to your own resources. Live and operate with passion. Passion is what makes us who we are.”

WHAT WE DO

We carry on the bold legacy of former Genzyme CEO Henri Termeer, who was committed to mentoring emerging leaders and whose dedication to patients resulted in groundbreaking treatments. We understand that bringing new treatments to patients is grueling work with a low probability of success. We believe we can improve these odds by positively impacting the human variables in healthcare. By supporting biotech leaders, we seek to increase the probability of creating cures and solving healthcare’s greatest challenges.
