Ice cream days During July and August, SCHILLER Medical employees enjoyed a break over an ice cream from “Sylvia’s Glaces”. Who is Sylvia’s Glaces? Sylvie makes homemade ice creams from fresh fruit. She sells them from her food trucks at events organised by companies and associations. On this summer’s day, SCHILLER Medical offered its employees ice creams for a refreshing break. Each of them could choose fresh, fruity and gourmet flavours to compose their ice creams. The ice cream are refreshing and from seasons, this year we can choose between a range of flavors :  strawberry vanilla chocolate yoghurt watermelon pistachio coffee mirabelle plum banana mango

Taste week SCHILLER Medical organised an annual Taste Week during the last two years.  What is Taste Week ? The aim of the week is to raise awareness among as many people as possible of the different tastes and flavours we encounter every day. Launched in France, for the first time, in 1990, “Taste Week” aims to contribute to the importance of eating well. It’s important to eat well, in a balanced and diverse way, to protect our health, and our hearts, from cardiovascular disease. Taste week at SCHILLER Medical In 2022, SCHILLER Medical employees were invited to discover a new taste over four days with four different foods. These foods are from season and they are protecting the health of everyone.   Monday: fruit juices Tuesday: brioches and jam Wednesday: cheeses  Thursday: season fruits In 2023, we organised another Taste Week. We chose to test the taste buds of our employees, from acidity to bitterness, as well as sweetness and saltiness. Each day, employees had to rank foods from most acidic to least acidic, from most bitter to least bitter, from most sweet to least sweet and from most salty to least salty.  On the menu Monday: which of these honeys is sweeter, lime blossom, acacia, and lavender? Tuesday: which of the orange, pineapple and grapefruit juices is the most acidic? Wednesday: which of these three pieces of “conté” is the most mature and which is the least mature? Thursday: between these three pieces of chocolate, which is the most bitter and which is the least bitter? This week is an opportunity for some of us to try new flavours, and also to test our taste buds on foods that we know but which have a range of flavours.

Celebration of the 100 000th fRED PA-1 On 28th May 2023, we produced our 100,000th FRED PA-1.   We have decided to donate it to the Fann University Hospital in Dakar, Senegal. The work of all our employees has enabled us to produce this number of devices since its launch. The Fann University Hospital receive the FRED PA-1 to make it available to the hospital. They are honoured to have been chosen as the beneficiaries of this vital equipment. The device is configured as an automatic defibrillator, to ensure optimum use in emergency situations. The FRED PA-1 will enable them to improve the quality of their patient care. On this occasion, we got together to share a convivial moment by tasting a cake bearing the effigy of the FRED PA-1, while enjoying the FRED FRED PA-1 cocktail (apples and pineapples). All the employees received a chocolate in the shape of FRED PA-1 made by “Pâtisserie Rebert” in Wissembourg, while the cake was made by “Grain de Sucre” in Grendelbruch in Alsace. We’re proud to have been able to share this moment together while involving local craftsmen.

Partnership: LARGE & SCHILLER Medical We are proud to announce you the start of the partnership between SCHILLER Medical and the Grand Est Athletics League.  Through this action we would like to participate to the development of the approach “Physical activity in company” initiated by the League and associate all the employees with a kind and positive approach. In the company, actions will be organised, they will be addressed to all employees. Baptiste MISCHLER will be our ambassador.  Who is Baptiste Mischler? Baptsite Mischler is a member of the French Athletics team, Olympic games Tokyo 2021, on 1 500m.  He is also an engineer in formation at INSA Strasbourg. First action at SCHILLER Medical: running courses SCHILLER Medical offers the possibility to its employees to be part on training sessions with a coach.  Small groups of volunteers had the opportunity to train through reinforcement exercices and running exercices. A daily physical activity is important to train our heart and to be healthier: it prevents cardiovascular disease. These running sessions are great for getting moving and countering the sedentary nature of our working days.  Shape meetings On Tuesday 19th and Wednesday 20th September 2023, SCHILLER Medical employees were able to take part on shape meetings to make a test to assess the five major physical qualities (endurance, strength, coordination, speed, and flexibility) that are essential to keeping your health and well-being throughout your life. How does it work? Each session began with a short survey to fill in about physical activity habits. To assess the physical qualities of the employees, they were given five exercises: Do as many knees raises as possible over a set period of time Hold the chair position for the longest time Balance on one foot for the longest time with eyes closed Hold the sheathing position for the longest time Finally, an exercise to test your flexibility by putting your hands on the floor. The sessions ended with a personalised assessment so that each employee could learn new habits to adopt the well-being every day.
