The resolution acknowledges Medtronic's longstanding mission to alleviate pain, restore health, and extend life, a vision set forth by its founder, Earl Bakken. With a workforce of more than 95,000 employees globally, Medtronic's impact over the past seventy-five years is celebrated, and the resolution expresses the General Assembly's best wishes for the company's continued success in the future.
