Modernizing Pharmacy Care

Pharmacists play an essential role in care delivery, with patients relying on them not just for prescriptions, but for personalized support with an increasing range of clinical services. Their ability to provide these services and reach patients more efficiently depends on reliable supply and modern tools.

At McKesson, we deliver medications to every setting of care, from national and retail chain pharmacies to independent pharmacies, hospitals, health systems and clinics. Our support of pharmacies goes beyond reliable medication access, combining automation and smart inventory systems with advocacy, education and operational support to help pharmacies continue delivering essential patient care in neighborhoods across America.
