Blood Cancer United® (formerly The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society) and The US Oncology Network collaborated to expand access to clinical trials for blood cancer patients through personalized education, trial matching and patient navigation services. The two-year pilot program, currently active across three states, connects patients and providers at select community cancer centers with specialized clinical trial nurse navigators.
In FY26, McKesson employees further supported Blood Cancer United’s mission by participating in Light the Night Walk events in The Woodlands, Dallas and Cary, N.C., honoring patients and families affected by blood cancers while demonstrating a shared commitment to improving cancer care and outcomes.
For the sixth consecutive year, McKesson joined in the Fit2Be Cancer Free Challenge supporting the American Cancer Society (ACS) and the Canadian Cancer Society. The Challenge brings together Fortune 500 companies to compete in taking as many steps as possible while raising awareness for cancer prevention and treatment. Nearly 4,600 employees participated in April 2025, helping McKesson to finish first in both the number of total steps (over 360 million steps) and total distance (nearly 160,000 miles).
Community Impact Days (CID) is McKesson’s largest annual company-wide employee engagement activation in the U.S. and Canada, that brings employees together across offices, distribution centers and remote locations to support the communities we live and work in.
Aligned with CID’s 2025 theme, Advancing Health Outcomes Through Food Access, employees supported nutritious food initiatives by assembling 47,530 food packs and helping provide approximately 170,000 meals across communities. We also hosted a six‑part virtual education series, featuring internal and external leaders and partners who shared insights on food access, nutrition and practical tools to support healthier communities. The series was available to employees, partners and members of the community.
The McKesson Foundation (The Foundation) is a 501(c)(3) corporate foundation funding nonprofit organization-led programs to reduce barriers to quality healthcare across the U.S. and Canada, particularly for vulnerable and under-resourced communities.
