This Rare Disease Day, we’re continuing to raise awareness about seeing people in need and our commitment to innovating and finding solutions for patients living with rare diseases. 

Today, UCB announced seven U.S-based organizations received support from the UCB Community Health Fund managed by the King Baudouin Foundation in Belgium.

2020 tested many long-held beliefs and practices of how we work, how we think about our health, and how we help others. Read more from UCB's Chief Executive Officer & Chairman of the Executive Committee, Jean-Christophe Tellier, as he reflects on the lessons learned and our work to improve the lives of patients now and to create a healthier future.

While the Boston R&D Hub is relatively young compared to the nearly century-long history of UCB, it represents a continuation and extension of the UCB legacy and our Patient Value Strategy.
