Our hearts and our community
Every day, people living with serious diseases strive to be more than their disease — to be defined by what they can dream and hope and achieve, not by what limits them. From exercise, to education, to the management of their day-to-day care, people with serious diseases and their loved ones embrace the adversity they face and meet challenges head-on.
Our commitment to people with serious diseases is uncompromising and goes beyond our R&D and medicines.

Cystic fibrosis
We’ve established programs, and we partner with organizations that help people with cystic fibrosis live active, full lives.
Team IMPACT (U.S.)
Team IMPACT is a nonprofit organization that matches courageous kids living with rare diseases with college athletic teams. Our sponsorship has helped give more than 100 kids a team, including virtual support during COVID-19.
Vertex Foundation Scholarship (U.S. & Canada)
Through the Vertex Foundation, we award more than 80 scholarships that help people with cystic fibrosis and their immediate family members pursue higher education degrees.
CF Care Program (Brazil)
In partnership with Unidos pela Vida Institute, we organized a series of online classes to provide the CF community and caregivers with information about the importance of physiotherapy as a crucial part of the management of CF.
Our pipeline
Across our pipeline, we are committed to engaging with, listening to and learning from patients and patient organizations. As we partner with communities of people with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, APOL1-mediated kidney diseases, beta thalassemia, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, pain, sickle cell disease and type 1 diabetes, making a difference for patients will always be our top priority.
