Welcoming AAD to Washington, D.C.

We’re excited to welcome the 2019 American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) meeting to Washington, D.C. this week. As AAD comes to town, we wanted to offer a few recommendations from our D.C. staff. UCB’s D.C. office focuses on public policy with colleagues in advocacy, policy, public affairs, and regulatory.

Our presence in D.C. enables our commitment to the continued evolution of the healthcare system toward recognizing and rewarding value through a policy environment that advances innovation, better incorporates patients in value-based care, and promotes affordable access for patients to the right medicine at the right time.

If you are in town for for AAD, we hope you have a moment to enjoy all D.C. has to offer. One of our favorite insider tips is that the city has a robust restaurant scene.
