You did it. You ran a marathon. Now what? After focusing your lifestyle on a goal, it’s common to feel a flood of emotions and wonder what to do next. When it comes to running marathons, or any major race, you can get used to training frequently, and as race day comes and goes, your body and brain will need to adapt to a new pattern of focus, sleep, activity and rest. So what can you do help your mental recovery after a race? Find out at the link in our bio.

Success is in the smaller steps you take to reach your full potential, and how you learn and grow along the way. No matter where you are in your journey, we’re in your corner every step of the way.

“My mother and her student identified the first cases of HIV in India in the ’80s. She was a professor of microbiology, and her student was doing her dissertation. That’s where everything started. But, I think once she identified those first cases, it almost became sort of a responsibility to her to see it through: ‘I just can’t let it go. What can I do about it?’ So, she started a non-profit organization in Chennai, India, in 1993, with the vision that everybody living with HIV in India should live with respect and dignity across the country. “I am hoping to carry on her vision. Most of my work is with vulnerable populations across India, especially in Delhi, and I work very closely with government programs, with inputs from the community, to identify ways to get people tested and help them access treatments and other medical care. Our organization is part of the Abbott Pandemic Defense Coalition, so we’re doing research to end pandemics that exist today, in addition to pandemics that may show up years from now. “We’ve done a lot of these research programs for India, and the question really is: What does that mean to the communities? How are we impacting the lives of the people who come to us? To me, anyone who walks in through our door should walk out with a smile, regardless of who you are, where you’re from and what you do. Because everyone should have access to health. That’s what I learned from my mother, and it’s what I live by.” Sunil Solomon, M.B.B.S., Ph.D., M.P.H., is a member of the Abbott Pandemic Defense Coalition, working to proactively track infectious diseases and prevent them from becoming global outbreaks — inspired by his mother.

Spring has sprung. The flowers are in bloom and the birds are chirping. Life is great – until you’re hit with a dry cough or itchy eyes, and you can’t tell if you’ve got COVID-19 or spring allergies.

PediaSure, the nutritional shake developed with the help of Abbott scientist Mary Weiler, did more than help Alex grow. It helped save his life.

When Avery fell to the ground while riding her horse, she knew something was seriously wrong. A visit to her cardiologist confirmed what felt like disastrous news. Her cardiologist determined Avery had heart failure and recommended a solution — having a small remote monitor implanted to help her continue an active life. In a minimally invasive procedure, Avery received our tech to help manage her heart failure. Nearly three years later, Avery is no longer just a patient. Drawing on her determination to help others, she started shadowing her cardiologist and is now pursuing her own medical career. She’s also, literally, back in the saddle. Go behind the scenes of Avery’s journey at the link in our bio.
