Better health allows people and communities to achieve more. We create new solutions — in diagnostics, medical devices, nutrition and branded generic pharmaceuticals—that help people around the world, in all stages of life, live their best lives.

Founded more than 125 years ago by Chicago physician Dr. Wallace C. Abbott, Abbott is now one of the largest diversified global healthcare companies. We understand that proper nutrition is the foundation for living the best life possible. That’s why we develop science-based nutrition products for people of all ages. Our products help babies and children grow, keep bodies strong and active, and support the unique nutrition needs of people with chronic illnesses — to make every stage oflife a healthy one.

Diagnostic testing is a compass, providing information that helps in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of a range of health conditions. Abbott’s life-changing tests and diagnostic tools put the power of health in the hands of people in all parts of the world. We’re empowering smarter medical and economic decision making to helptransform the way people manage their health at all stages of life.

Leading an active lifestyle is important to the many people we serve. We’re revolutionizing medical technology to help people manage their diabetes better, improve and restore their vision, and return to a more active life after being treated for heart disease. Whether it’s glucose monitoring systems, laser vision correction technologies oran innovative dissolving stent for the heart, our advanced medical device technologies are designed to help people live their lives better and healthier
