New Year, New You! Health is at the top of many people’s resolutions for 2016, including ours at Johnson & Johnson. “We must set the standard for a healthier world,” says Alex Gorsky, our Chairman and CEO, “by moving the needle on creating healthier societies. Health is not a privilege; it’s a basic human right.”
That’s why J&J is looking forward to this year’s JP Morgan Health Care Conference in San Francisco. Alex and senior leaders will discuss how J&J is moving that needle as the world’s largest broadly-based health care company. The conference kicks off on Monday, January 11 and will bring together top thought leaders from around the world for a robust discussion about the current state and future potential of health care.
We’ll have a strong presence at the conference, leading groundbreaking discussions on our collective mission to move the world towards a healthy society.
Chairman and CEO Alex Gorsky will lead the discussion about health care being one of society’s greatest challenges … and opportunities. He will discuss how a culture of health and wellness are the keys to a future where people are healthier and businesses and economies are stronger as a result.

Dominic Caruso, Chief Financial Officer, will discuss the need to change economic perceptions about health care. “When health care is seen as an investment instead of a cost, we will improve people’s health and productivity and, thereby, return dividends to business and to society.”
