Novo Nordisk in the United StatesAt Novo Nordisk, we believe in change. We seek opportunities to
contribute to healthier communities and better lives for all people.
And we drive change by listening, learning and improving.
For 95 years, we have been driving change to defeat diabetes,
inspired by the courage of the people we support. Our heritage in
diabetes has given us the experience and capability to help defeat
other serious chronic conditions: hemophilia, growth disorders and
obesity.
Every change in the right direction counts, from innovations in
medicines and embarking on new partnerships to the everyday efforts
and choices that people living with a chronic condition make as they
strive to live the life they want.
We work for a future where lives are not limited. To achieve this, we
take the lead and continuously challenge the status quo by looking at
change from new perspectives.
