Hologic
The Science Of Sure In Action

There are more ways to define a woman and the diverse roles she plays in our lives. She can be a mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, wife, lover, best friend, and much more. She is someone who can be fiercely independent, strong, affectionate, sensitive, astute, clear-sighted funny, thoughtful, and capable of doing what needs to be done. It goes without saying when this powerful and assertive person in our lives has a health issue in mind, it is also on ours.

These health issues that 3.7 billion women across the world face impact them and the ones they love. Born with a singular focus on improving and enhancing women's lives across the globe, Hologic has embarked on a journey that many dare not to tread.

Enabling Healthier Lives Everywhere, Every Day

With a core focus on advancing women's health and well-being, Hologic discovers and develops ground-breaking products and services that address the broad spectrum of breast, cervical, gynecologic, body composition, perinatal, skeletal, and sexual health issues women and men face as life unfolds.

Hologic specializes in Breast and Skeletal Health, Diagnostic Solutions, and GYN Surgical Solutions.

Lastly, the skeletal solutions empower clients with tools that set the gold standard for assessing bone density, cardiovascular disease, and obesity.

To paint a more vivid picture of Hologic's products alleviating and enhancing women's lives, let us consider the real-life story of Mindy—a cervical cancer survivor. While attending her regular annual appointment with her OB-GYN like every year, the regular testing and Pap smear indicated something unusual. Mindy's doctor leverages ThinPrep Pap test and Aptima HPV test from Hologic and called her back for another session to conduct biopsy. The results were not in favor of Mindy as it demonstrated the presence of something abnormal and cancerous. However, despite this negative news, Mindy decided to trust her doctor and go for surgery the next morning. She had faith in the plan her doctor had for her. The cancer was eliminated through a non-invasive surgery and she was declared cancer-free in about two weeks after the surgery. Today as Mindy looks back to her whole journey, she admits that catching cancer earlier was critical. While precancerous cells often take years to develop into cancer, routine Pap testing is instrumental for early detection and early treatment. "When it comes to Hologic, what the company is doing to put the power back in the female's hands is absolutely amazing," she says.
