As students and parents prepare for a new school year, there can be a lot of stress  – from meeting new teachers and preparing for classes, to financial assistance and making new friends. For people living with epilepsy and their caregivers, the stress and worry surrounding back-to-school preparation is compounded.

At UCB, people are at the heart of everything we do and part of our commitment to delivering impactful solutions for people whose lives have been challenged by severe disease is by deeply understanding their disease. This week is Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) Awareness Week and we’re sharing information on this lesser-known inflammatory, chronic autoimmune skin disease.

Today, UCB was pleased to host Her Royal Highness Princess Astrid of Belgium (HRH), Belgian dignitaries, and Belgian business leaders to visit our U.S. headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia.
