Advocate Voices
Patients are at the core of what we do
Their will, strength and stories inspire biopharmaceutical researchers to fight illness at every level. Advocates are also valuable partners in the tireless pursuit of revolutionary treatments and cures.
Patients

What New Cures Would Mean to Families
In 2021, my husband, Larry and I found ourselves sitting at a medical center receiving the news that Larry was being diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. We were so scared. While this was a common dementia-related disease that impacts so many seniors, there wasn’t a catch-all treatment developed yet. We are fortunate to live during a time where science has never been more promising. I hope our nation’s elected leaders don’t forget patients like my husband who are counting on U.S. biopharmaceutical leadership to support advances in medicine. -
