Our hhc mission is the shared purpose that enables us to identify, understand and work to address the needs of people throughout their lives. We include everyone in our hhc process, an active empathy and resilient drive paired with design thinking, to innovate for patients and people in meaningful ways. We collaborate with other industries and groups to create an hhc ecosystem that enhances the benefits that healthcare provides to Society. In this way, we aim to empower people to realize their fullest life in sickness and in health, to reduce health disparities, and help future generations thrive. This is what we call hhceco.
We’re a medium-size pharmaceutical company focused on neurology and oncology, with a strong heritage of discovery and development. Our history includes the development of many innovative medicines, notably the discovery of the world's most widely-used treatment for Alzheimer’s disease, an expectation-defying anti-cancer therapy, and the first FDA approved disease modifying treatment for Alzheimer’s. And, with our recently redesigned research and development organization, we’re approaching science in a non-traditional way that we believe will shape the future of medicine. As we continue to expand, we are seeking highly-motivated individuals who want to work in a fast-paced environment and make a difference. If this sounds like you, please inquire.
