Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, Walgreens and other CEOs discuss value in the future of health care

As part of The Value Collaborative, an initiative of America’s biopharmaceutical companies, we recently hosted an event with Bloomberg about unlocking and supporting value in the future of health care. Breakthrough medicines are revolutionizing how we fight disease, but too often patients have to fight to access these treatments. We can improve access and affordability through market-based reforms such as moving toward a system that prioritizes results for patients.

Joaquin Duato, executive vice president and chairman, pharmaceuticals, Johnson & Johnson and Ian Read,  chairman of the board and CEO, Pfizer participated in the event alongside leadership from Aetna, American Cancer Society, Cleveland Clinic, Duke University, Flatiron Health and Walgreens. PhRMA president and CEO Steve Ubl also participated in a conversation about advancing value-driven health care.
