For more than a century, Abbott Laboratories has been working to advance
health care for people around the world. Founded by a young Chicago
physician, Dr. Wallace Calvin Abbott, in 1888, Abbott Laboratories has
evolved into a diversified health care company that discovers, develops,
manufactures and markets innovative products and services that span the
continuum of care - from prevention and diagnosis to treatment and cure.
Headquartered in north suburban Chicago, Abbott helps people around the
world in the more than 130 countries.
Building leadership and combining strengths in the areas of pharmaceuticals,
nutritionals, hospital products and diagnostics has enabled Abbott to provide
total, integrated solutions across the health care spectrum for some of the
world's most prevalent medical conditions, including AIDS, cancer and diabetes.
We focus on advancing medical science and the practice of health care
with expertise in the therapeutic areas of diabetes, pain management,
respiratory infections, HIV/AIDS, men and women's health, pediatrics and
animal health.
