Celgene Corporation Political Action Committee Board of irectors One of the more challenging barriers to effective patient care is the complex system of coverage and payment for medicines in the U.S. At Celgene, one of our most important goals is helping patients access the medications their doctors have prescribed. The Celgene PAC provides support to those seeking to streamline those systems, and help eliminate barriers to patient access.
