Press Ganey hosts eighth annual Community Day, first time expanding the program globally with Forsta

09 August 2022

Press Ganey, renowned leader in patient, member, employee and consumer experience across the entire healthcare ecosystem, held its eighth annual Community Day on Aug. 3. For the first time, the event went global and included employees from Forsta, an industry-leading global provider of market research and customer experience (CX) technology and a recent addition to the Press Ganey organization. Combined, more than 3,000 team members around the world took part in volunteer projects for their local communities.

In South Bend, Indiana, home to Press Ganey’s flagship office, 300 employees joined Press Ganey Chairman and CEO Patrick Ryan and other executives as they volunteered with longstanding partners from the organization’s 35-plus years in the community. In more than 30 key hubs across the United States and international markets, including Australia, Bosnia, Germany, India and the United Kingdom, thousands of Press Ganey and Forsta colleagues volunteered in service projects selected based on the greatest needs in local communities.

I am overwhelmed by the commitment, dedication and passion our associates bring to this event every year, and this year is no exception. Corporate citizenship is not only a priority, but a core value in our organization, and we’re grateful to see our collective organization donate over 9,000 hours of community service across more than 30 nonprofits and charities where they live, work and play.

Patrick T. Ryan
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Press Ganey
