This month in honor of Myasthenia Gravis (MG) Awareness Month, we have an opportunity to elevate the voices and needs of people with MG who remind us each day that our collective efforts can directly impact the everyday lives of MG patients – especially during times when immunocompromised individuals can face even more challenges than usual.

With more than 20 years of experience in caring for people living with epilepsy, our goal has always been to know and understand the day-to-day experiences of people living with the disease better than anyone. Over the past year this has been especially true, and the challenges we’ve faced have reinvigorated our commitment to the overall emotional and physical well-being of patients. Read more from UCB’s Head of U.S. Neurology, Mike Davis, about how UCB is finding new ways to better connect with patients and improve their day-to-day experience.

For MG Awareness Month, we're spreading awareness about myasthenia gravis (MG) by showcasing Jennifer's inspiring story about living with the disease. Hear about her experience and advice for others living with MG by watching the video below.

Although this June may look and feel different from years past, we’re just as excited to spread awareness together with the myasthenia gravis (MG) community in celebration of Myasthenia Gravis (MG) Awareness Month. In light of the impact coronavirus is having on people around the world, especially people with MG who may be immunocompromised, we’re looking forward to connecting and celebrating in a virtual way.

At UCB, how we do science – from discovery to development to delivery – has been transformed and redesigned around understanding the patient and their individual experience. For specific patient populations new to UCB – like Myasthenia gravis (MG) – this is especially important because no two experiences of this rare, neuromuscular condition are alike. In honor of Myasthenia Gravis Awareness Month, join us as we shine a spotlight to help spread awareness and empower people living with MG.
