A new commitment to managing diabetes and other chronic diseases

McKesson is proud to improve the communities where we live and work.

In 2008 and 2009, the McKesson Foundation donated nearly $10 million, primarily to healthcare-related nonprofit organizations and to support our employees' community involvement efforts.

This year, we’ve refined our strategic focus. In addition to our continued commitment to supporting our employees' community involvement efforts, the Foundation's grant-making will support chronic disease management, beginning with a three-year emphasis on diabetes management.

By focusing on chronic disease management, we can invest in innovative nonprofit programs, lend our institutional expertise to partner organizations, and track the specific health impacts of our community investment efforts.

To create more synergy between our community investment programs, we have also focused our employee involvement programs on diabetes. Most notably, in addition to ongoing support for employee involvement in the community, we are aligning our annual Community Days event with the McKesson Foundation's focus area. Our annual walk events around the country will also support the diabetes cause.
