supporting vaccination efforts McKesson’s purpose of Advancing Health Outcomes for All has been especially magnified throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
Whether operating as the U.S. government's centralized distributor for certain COVID-assembling ancillary supply kits needed to administer the vaccines, our response to the pandemic has spanned several countries and multiple disciplines across our enterprise.
Our U.S. teams continue to pick and pack the vaccines and assemble the ancillary supply kits.
Across several European countries, our teams are helping support governments and public health bodies by distributing and administering COVID19 vaccines.
In Canada, where provinces and territories are individually responsible for planning and running their respective vaccination programs, governments rely on the support of healthcare companies such as McKesson Canada to build systems which help enable safe and effective vaccination programs.
In February pharmacies — a McKesson franchise network of independent, locally owned community pharmacies — joined the U.S. government’s Federal Retail Pharmacy Program for COVID-19 Vaccination to help expand vaccine access for patients across the country.
Many Health Mart pharmacies are in rural areas where pharmacists are the only care provider for miles.
With approximately nine out of living within five miles of a community pharmacy, these community pharmacies sometimes serve as the only source to people who would not otherwise have access to healthcare.
It is one of the reasons community pharmacies are vital for the vaccination efforts happening today.
“I want to acknowledge the work the Health Mart team has done to make this program possible for our profession, but even more for the people of our county, state and nation,” shared Jerry Duren, PharmD, pharmacist and owner of Duren’s Health Mart Pharmacy in Waynesboro, Tenn.
“I know without a doubt it would not have been possible for us to provide this valuable life-saving service alone.

Impact Report >Table of Contents | We aim to continuously leverage our diversity to explore opportunities, elevate our thinking and challenge long-held assumptions.
We continue to make diversity, equity and inclusion integral to everything we do because we believe building a more inclusive future is everyone’s responsibility.
, the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) team undertook an enterprise diversity assessment to better understand where inclusion and culture enhancements could be made across the company to promote greater levels of employee engagement and a stronger sense of belonging.
By conducting focus group discussions, leader interviews and benchmarking best practices in different industries, we elevated employee voices at all levels and across many cultures, identities, and backgrounds.
Through these conversations and findings, the DEI team formed action groups to enhance McKesson’s culture, deliver greater DEI awareness and education, increase leadership involvement and ultimately enrich employee engagement.
To further our commitment to DEI, McKesson refreshed our self-identification campaign — branded internally as This is Me.
The campaign facilitated opportunities for employees to voluntarily share how they identify, which improved our ability to monitor retention and promotion activities across the enterprise.
Across North America, we focused on expanding self-identification fields, including sexual orientation and transgender status, in support of our LGBTQ+ community.
This effort was followed by options for employees to self-select their preferred pronouns.
“Inclusion starts with understanding and knowledge of those we engage with.
That’s why I took the great opportunity at McKesson to self-ID, claiming my identity and bringing my full self to my career,” said Sabina Katyal, director of marketing communications for Medical-Surgical.
Focused learning modules: inclusion sprints As McKesson employees and leaders built on personal capabilities to enhance our culture, specific and focused learning modules — known as inclusion sprints — were deployed throughout the year.
These trainings emphasized the importance of empathy in everyday interactions with coworkers that, in turn, set a path toward greater understanding and inclusion.
“These focused learning modules and inclusion sprints have been key components to our diversity and inclusion efforts, helping to promote understanding, awareness and compassion across all groups,” said Stephen Ford, vice president, information security.
Employees explored topics that highlighted critical elements of inclusion, including appreciating differences and the positive impact of the ally community.
The inclusion sprints also empowered employees to create a work environment that sets the right tone for their teams and the company.

ICARE and ILEAD principles Our ICARE values are the cultural foundation of our company.
These values — integrity, customerfirst, accountability, respect and excellence — serve as our guideposts in making decisions, interacting with each other and our customers, and managing our teams.

Each ILEAD attribute — inspire, leverage, execute, advance, develop — has its own definition, with a set of competencies and behaviors tied to it.
This common language allows us to build a collective leadership culture across McKesson that is brought to life by each of our individual experiences.
By embracing these shared values and commitments, we bring out the best in ourselves and position McKesson to achieve our purpose — for our company, our customers and their patients for years to come.
