ABBVIE, a global biopharmaceutical company, is known for its commitment to improving lives through innovative medicines. But beyond producing world-class cures, it also empowers its employees to make a difference in the communities it serves.

That’s why ABBVIE employees have partnered with the Rheumatopaths Association to create positive change for people with rheumatologic conditions.

Rheumatopaths Association: Who They Are and What They Do

The Rheumatopaths Association is a non-profit organization run by rheumatologists devoted to promoting awareness and knowledge on joint and musculoskeletal conditions.

Established in 2015, it aims to help patients with rheumatologic disorders get access to proper care, pursue research, and bring together healthcare providers with a shared interest in this field.

The association achieves these goals by organizing conferences, training sessions, advocacy programs, and grants.

They encourage dialogue and cooperation between rheumatology professionals, including nurses, physiotherapists, and researchers from different institutions.

ABBVIE’s Commitment: Serving Rheumatologic Patients

People with rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriatic arthritis, or other related diseases face many challenges that go beyond physical discomfort. They may struggle with fatigue, mobility, social isolation, and mental health issues, among others.

By partnering with the Rheumatopaths Association, ABBVIE wanted to help improve the quality of life of these patients and their caregivers by providing more resources, support, and information.

ABBVIE found that partnering with the Rheumatopaths Association was an excellent way to address some of the concerns facing patients with rheumatologic disorders.

Notably, both ABBVIE and the Rheumatopaths Association welcomed the participation of patients and their caregivers in their events and programs, ensuring that their voices are heard and valued.

This patient-centric approach is key in understanding the real-world issues facing people living with rheumatologic conditions and how best to help them.
