About Miles D. White: Miles D. White is an American businessman. He currently serves as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Abbott Laboratories.
I have a particular passion and focus on Alzheimer's and diseases of dementia. There's just so much scientifically that we don't know, and we can know.
At the end of the day, that physician needs to be in the mix telling patients what their habits ought to be and whether or not they should rely on a medicine.
People come to a company like Abbott sometimes and think, 'It's so big, I can't make a difference.' I think just the opposite. I think everybody can make a difference.
If you want to achieve what you dream of achieving, whatever it may be, you're going to have to earn it.
