Millions of patients in the U.S. face barriers to receiving essential care, from advanced treatments and critical medications to participation in clinical trials, driven by factors ranging from affordability to geography.

At McKesson, we’re improving patient care by powering healthcare locally and solving access and affordability challenges. We make healthcare happen by supporting providers who deliver cancer and specialty care, connecting patients to advanced treatment options and clinical trials, and helping ensure care is available in communities across the country. Our role is to support, never replace, independent clinical judgment so care decisions remain between physicians and their patients.

We partner behind the scenes with those who are on the front line of care so that our customers can stay focused on what matters most: their patients. Our digitally connected distribution network ensures medications reach every healthcare setting, from neighborhood pharmacies to community hospitals to local providers, whether in major cities or rural areas.

We’re helping ensure patients can access the therapies and care they need when and where they need them.
