McKesson Canada is a key link in the Canadian health care supply chain. Our solutions empower manufacturers, pharmacies and health care providers - enabling them to get closer to patients.

We have been the logistics and distribution leader in the health care sector for many years now. Leadership is hard work. At McKesson Canada, it's the product of a continuous quest for innovation, and a strong desire to add value for our pharmacy customers and manufacturer partners.

Canada's health care sector has grown, and so have we. McKesson Canada offers our supply chain partners a full range of integrated products and services.

For Canada's retail and hospital pharmacies, the challenges are numerous. These include technician and pharmacist shortages, as well as the increasing demands of an aging population. Patients' desire for information continues to accelerate, especially in an era characterized by reduced accessibility to physicians. McKesson Canada rises to these challenges, with automation products and software that empower health care professionals who are concerned with safety, efficiency and ready access to information. Our solutions enable pharmacists and other health care professionals to devote more of their time to their patients - who increasingly rely on them for effective care. We also help health care practitioners and providers to meet their own challenges, empowering them with clinical and administrative software applications and decision-support tools. Our goals are to optimize health care efficiency, and to enhance patient care.

Another key goal at McKesson Canada is to place strong emphasis on our community activities, such as the McKesson Foundation and our various philanthropic efforts. McKesson Canada is proud to be an active, responsible member of the communities where we operate, and in locations where our suppliers, customers and employees live and work.

Empowering Health Care - it's our motto. And it's also a promise that we keep with every manufacturer, every pharmacy, and every patient. We work hard to live up to our motto thousands of times every day, in communities across the country.
