Key Points

Distributors help ensure medicines are available when and where they are needed.
In Modern Healthcare’s “Healthcare Insider” podcast, Gene Cavacini discusses access, resilience and the future of pharmaceutical distribution.

From GLP-1 medications to cell and gene therapies, new treatments are transforming what is possible for patients. But innovation only matters if therapies move safely, reliably and efficiently through the healthcare system.

In Modern Healthcare’s “Healthcare Insider” podcast, Gene Cavacini, president of U.S. Pharmaceutical Distribution at McKesson, discusses how distributors help connect innovation to care by strengthening access, resilience and trust across the supply chain.

Pharmaceutical distribution often happens behind the scenes, but it is essential to how healthcare works. Distributors connect manufacturers with pharmacies, physician offices, health systems and other sites of care, helping ensure medicines are available when and where they are needed.

As healthcare innovation accelerates and the system grows more complex, pharmaceutical distribution will remain a critical link between scientific breakthroughs and patient care.
