ABBVIE INC.
NORTH CHICAGO, IL

At AbbVie, it’s both what we do and how we do it that matter. We go beyond medicine, using our resources to improve health care and communities. We’re committed to: It’s the very basis of how AbbVie does business. We are committed to cultivating an ethical, transparent and inclusive culture to drive sustainable growth. We are a diverse, inclusive organization with people who reflect the thousands of communities we serve around the world. For all of us, working at AbbVie is more than a job. It’s a purpose that leads to better lives for other people, across the world. When the stakes are as high as a patient’s well-being, the best ideas must rise to the top, no matter where they begin. Our 125-year legacy provides AbbVie a set of deeply held values. These guide our way, driving how we treat our patients and each other and how we design our strategies and operate our business. And they keep us focused on what matters most—our patients and our people. AbbVie may have been founded in 2013, but our roots run deep. In 2013, we became a separate company from Abbott, though we share a common legacy and strong prospects for future success. Our name represents our connection to the past and the future. When we became our own company, AbbVie formed a new kind of enterprise—a biopharmaceutical company. We blend the stability, global scale, resources and commercial capabilities of a pharmaceutical company with the focus and culture of a biotech. “I think a lot of physicians, particularly non-OB-GYNs, don’t realize how common endometriosis really is. Approximately 10 percent of women of reproductive age have endometriosis. That’s a lot of women! So endometriosis should be near the top of any list of diagnoses in a woman of reproductive age who presents with chronic pelvic pain.” – first noted this trend in 1980 when we founded the world's first research registry on the disease. Data from this registry, from a 1998 cohort of 4,000 patients with surgically confirmed endometriosis, showed that fully two-thirds of those responding had experienced their first pelvic symptoms before age 20, far too young to be considered "career women." Over time, with our research and that of others in the field, pain was established as the cardinal symptom of endometriosis and the field began looking at younger ages for onset of the disease.” – “For women who suffer from endometriosis, the idea that surgery or medication will cure all of their pain can sometimes be a myth. Sometimes it can, but sometimes women have suffered for years and years and there is no one magic fix for everyone. Each patient is different. I am a believer that we need to treat the whole body and mind, not just the disease. This includes things like looking at your diet, exercise, how you cope with anxiety and pain, your overall wellness. As a surgeon, I have practiced yoga for years as a means of dealing with stress and helping with the aches and pains of spending long hours in the OR. Sometimes something as simple as how you breathe can be the best medicine.” – grants across 35 disease areas provided by AbbVie If we bring a new medicine to market, it can help patients worldwide, as opposed to the 20 or so patients we might see in clinic in one day.
