All in for Good

Cardinal Health's commitment to the community

• Better patient outcomes
• Reduced prescription drug misuse
• Healthier communities

Our work in the community, while very focused, is also diverse.

From global disaster relief to sophisticated work in healthcare and communities, the Cardinal Health Foundation supports approximately 50,000 employees as they make a difference in their communities.

What unifies all these efforts is a belief that Cardinal Health is all in for the health and well-being of our communities. By doing so, we can play a pivotal role to help individuals live healthier lives.

We partner with organizations throughout our communities. We tackle the big, complicated issues, and we work together to create powerful, lasting change. We seek out opportunities to get the greatest result with each of our investments, from supporting pilot projects to supporting innovative leaders searching for real solutions.

Together, we're all in for good!
