      Our vision: The elimination of cancer

      ‎At Johnson & Johnson, we are driven by our bold vision to eliminate cancer. Together, we work diligently to get in front of cancer and will never settle until the disease is behind everyone.

      Odds are that every person in the world knows, loves or is someone confronting cancer. It is the second leading cause of death globally, often disproportionately impacting people from underrepresented and underserved backgrounds. With its devastating impact on people and families worldwide, immediate action is needed to transform cancer care.

      At Johnson & Johnson, we innovate with purpose to lead where medicine is going. We listen and learn with compassion to understand the needs of patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals who remind us every day why we are working toward the elimination of cancer. Our aim is to not only take down disease, but to change and save lives. Our aim is to be in front of cancer.
