About

Every day, millions of people face serious health challenges that limit their ability to live fully. Abbott exists to change that by developing life-changing technologies that address the world's most pressing health needs. From the 30-year-old physician Dr. Wallace C. Abbott, who founded the company in 1888 by creating more accurate and reliable medicines in his Chicago drugstore, to today's global team of 115,000 employees, Abbott has remained driven by a singular purpose: helping people live healthier, fuller lives through breakthrough science and innovation.

Abbott's portfolio of technologies spans the entire spectrum of healthcare, serving people in more than 160 countries. The company revolutionized diabetes care with the FreeStyle Libre continuous glucose monitoring system, has been a leader in cardiovascular health for decades, pioneered diagnostic testing including the first licensed HIV blood test, and provides science-based nutrition products that support growth and recovery at every stage of life. With 135+ years of innovation behind them and recognition as one of Fortune's Most Admired Companies every year since 1984, Abbott continues to push boundaries - from developing the AVEIR DR leadless pacemaker to creating biowearables like Lingo that help people understand their health and wellness.

Organon

In 1923, Salomon van Zwanenberg founded NV Organon in Oss, Netherlands, establishing a pharmaceutical company that would become synonymous with advances in women's health. The original Organon pioneered innovations in contraception and stood at the forefront of reproductive health for decades. Nearly a century later, in 2021, a new independent company called Organon emerged through a strategic spinoff from Merck (known as MSD outside the U.S. and Canada), carrying forward this rich legacy while forging a new path dedicated to the health of women worldwide. Today, Organon operates as a global healthcare company with approximately 10,000 employees across nearly 60 countries, serving more than 140 markets with a diverse portfolio of over 60 medicines and devices. The company's mission centers on delivering impactful medicines and solutions for a healthier every day, with a focused strategy across three core business areas: Women's Health, Biosimilars, and Established Brands. By addressing health conditions that are unique to women, affect women disproportionately, or impact women differently - from contraception and fertility to cardiovascular disease and respiratory conditions - Organon envisions and actively works toward creating a better and healthier every day for every woman, recognizing that advancing women's health advances the health of society as a whole.
