McKesson

McKesson is a diversified healthcare services company that works with payors, hospitals, physician offices, pharmacies and pharmaceutical companies across the care continuum. Founded in 1833 and now a Fortune 10 company, it employs some 45,000 people across North America and operates globally.

The company's technical work spans distribution logistics, oncology research and care management, healthcare technology and data analytics. Its North American Pharmaceutical Distribution segment handles roughly one-third of all pharmaceuticals used in North America - a scale of supply-chain operation that depends heavily on logistics systems and analytics. Three further segments - Oncology and Multispecialty Solutions, Medical-Surgical Solutions and Prescription Technology Solutions - cover oncology and multispecialty care, medical-surgical products and prescription technology.

McKesson's history stretches back nearly two centuries, and its operations have been tested in major public health emergencies, from the 1918 flu pandemic to COVID-19 vaccine distribution. The company describes its focus as advancing health outcomes and building healthier organisations.
