Life at Acadia

We work side by side with patients, caregivers, and providers. Their insights guide our science and inspire us to create therapies that make a meaningful difference in underserved neurological disorders and rare diseases.

Be Their Difference

At Acadia, our purpose is to be their difference. This guides everything we do —driving us to put patients first, pursue bold science, and bring urgency to areas where few or no options exist. It also defines how we work together as colleagues: with curiosity, compassion, and the determination to make an impact that lasts.

Our values bring this purpose to life:

  • Start with them – We put underserved patients first. Their needs guide every decision we make, because what matters to them matters most to us.
  • Listen to learn – We stay curious. Drawing on insights from patients, partners, and each other, we take smarter, more compassionate approaches to advance care.
  • See the promise – We see potential where others don’t. With bold science and a shared vision, we take on tough challenges because breakthroughs require courage.
  • Make it happen – We go all in. We move forward together and show up with care, because people count on us.
