Sitting bedside night after night observing home health nurses tend to her niece’s care lit a spark and passion in Mya. One that she carried out by first attending nursing school, and then attending paramedic school. Click HERE to read Mya's story.

Our History

1897 Becton, Dickinson Opens for Business

At 45 Vesey Street, New York City, there was no fanfare that mid-September day to indicate the birth of Becton, Dickinson and Company. But on the third floor of the narrow 6-story building, two determined young partners, Maxwell Becton and Fairleigh Dickinson, showed zeal in settling their 20 workers to the task of making clinical thermometers.
