Every day we strive to understand the needs and experiences of the communities we serve
PUTTING PEOPLE BEFORE PATIENTS
We make the biggest impact when we work with people who live with a rare disease, cancer or a neurological condition, their families and caregivers to really understand the realities of their experience. When we talk about patient centricity, we understand being a patient is only one aspect of a person’s identity. Ipsen works with more than 25 patient advocacy organizations in the U.S. to ensure people impacted by the disease or condition are truly given a seat at the table when it comes to their care and the developments that Ipsen is making. We believe this kind of close collaboration and inclusion is essential to ensure we chart the right course.
