ABOUT LIFE. AMPLIFIED. INSPIRED BY EARL BAKKEN.

Through the LiveLifeAmplified program, you can share your story of living with Parkinson’s and philanthropic ideas with a community of like-minded people and Medtronic employees who want to help make those ideas a reality. Please visit LiveLifeAmplified.org for more information on the program.

Medtronic co-founder, Earl Bakken, was inspired by those who, despite health challenges, were passionate about making a difference. He hoped their impact could reach beyond the individual to communities around the world. The Medtronic Foundation is building on this legacy to inspire more people to share their ideas for improving their communities — and beyond. Life. Amplified. Inspired by Earl Bakken. is an evolution of the Bakken Invitation, a former program that recognized and celebrated people who, with the help of medical technology, overcame health challenges and were giving back in their communities.
