Leadership event focuses on purpose-driven goals

September 12, 2025

As part of our ongoing Leadership Series, Jeff Flaks, HHC CEO and president, sat down with Tom Polen, chairman, CEO and president of Becton Dickinson (BD), for a powerful conversation about how innovation and technology can transform care.

Flaks says what stood out most was his belief — one Hartford HealthCare shares — that real transformation isn’t just about strategy. It’s about courage, adaptability and an unwavering focus on people.

BD, one of the largest medical technology companies in the world, manufactures and sells a wide range of medical devices including needles, syringes and Pyxis medbank pharmacy cabinets.
