Abbott Vascular Eileen Cronin Turning Science into Caring (Welcome /Thank Audience) Abbott turns 125 years old in 2013. We’ve been able to be among the worlds’ most successful and enduring companies for many reasons, one of which is because our company has continually adapted to meet the changing health care needs of patients and people all over the world – advancing practices in science, technology and business to keep delivering new solutions that help people live healthier lives. Last year marked one of the single most significant moves in the company’s history – the separation of our researched-based pharmaceutical business into an independent company, AbbVie. Today, I’d like to talk to you about the “new” Abbott, which remains one of the most global and diversified healthcare companies – providing a broad range of products to people across more than 150 countries and with approximately 70,000 employees worldwide.
