Abbott’s mission is to make a positive impact on the lives of individuals living with diabetes, and they are dedicated to continuing their efforts to support health care providers and patients in their journey towards improved diabetes management and overall well-being. Abbott noted that they take great pride in their partnership with the AAFP Foundation which is known for actively working with industry partners to improve the lives of their patients, making them a perfect fit for Abbott’s initiatives.

Abbott is at the forefront of transforming the lives of over five million people in 60 countries by providing breakthrough continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology that is not only advanced but also accessible and affordable. Through their educational efforts with AAFP, Abbott has created patient awareness materials, including PSAs and videos featuring Chaka Khan that have reached millions of patients.

Beyond their collaboration with AAFP, Abbott is committed to supporting communities and promoting better diabetes care. The FreeStyle Libre CGM system is one example of how Abbott has worked to empower patients and their health care providers by providing real-time insights into how food, activity, and medication impact glucose levels. With their involvement in several initiatives, such as supporting the American Diabetes Association's Health Equity Now platform to increase access to better care and medical advances, especially in underserved communities, their partnership helps meet AAFP’s similar objectives of making health care more simplistic, more accessible, and more affordable for all.

The AAFP Foundation thanks Abbott for its ongoing, generous support, and invites others to learn more about the AAFP Foundation Partner Program.
