Alex Gorsky

Chairman and CEO, Johnson & Johnson

"Health Care: Society’s Greatest Challenge"

Alex Gorsky, chairman and chief executive officer of Johnson & Johnson, spoke at the September 11 meeting of Boston College’s Chief Executives Club about innovations and challenges in today’s health care industry. The industry’s strength, he told attendees, lies in its ability to “take science and translate's that into clinical outcomes that ultimately can be put in the physicians’ hands, the patients’ hands” to achieve tangible improvements.

Takeaway

Innovation

Takeaway

Wellness and Prevention

We’re convinced that a healthier employee is going to be more engaged…and ultimately do better personally and professionally.
