Loono

Loono is a team of young doctors, medical students and other professionals. The organization was founded in 2014 by Kateřina Šédová, M.D. after her own experience with cancer. Through educational campaigns, workshops and webinars in schools and companies, Loono educates the public about the importance of prevention of oncological and cardiovascular diseases, reproductive and mental health and popularizes healthy lifestyle.

Since its inception, Loono has trained more than 150,000 people in workshops, developed its own mobile application, and thanks to prevention, has already saved at least 90 human lives. Loono talks about health and the body in an understandable way, does not frighten with scary statistics and inspires others to take care of themselves with joy and in time. The vision of the organization is a world without preventable diseases.

Loono is looking for people for whom prevention and taking care of their health is a priority. They are looking for medical students who want to help and teach about prevention already during their studies, but also other experts in the field of marketing or fundraising. Anyone who is looking for a job with impact, enjoys learning new things, does not like lengthy processes and likes to see the results behind them, will be happy at Loono.

Loono believes that we should not only treat patients, but also educate them about prevention of various diseases. Therefore, all workshops are led by students of medical faculties or young doctors. Loono thus helps develop a new generation of doctors who believe in the importance of prevention.

The 1st Medical Faculty of the Charles University in Prague took over the professional patronage of the organization's activities, and their mobile application and other educational campaigns have been supported by the Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic for several years.

Each team member has his own educational plan. Loono also regularly organizes an internal Loono Academy, yoga classes in the office or a health day (the last time it was a workplace ergonomics setup with a physiotherapist).

Dog friendly offices, a company coach, flexible working hours, personal days or the home-office option are a matter of course at Loono.
