What we do

Through the company and the Cardinal Health Foundation, we place a high priority on making communities stronger through philanthropic donations and volunteerism.

With key partners, we work to address challenges in the communities where our employees live and work, with the goal of creating positive, lasting change.

Opportunities for support

Supporting employees’ commitment to community

We encourage employees around the globe to volunteer for the causes they care most about. More than 70 percent of employees responding to a recent survey reported being actively involved in their communities. And each year, they donate more than $2 million to nonprofit organization—funds that are matched by the Foundation.

Fighting prescription drug misuse

Cardinal Health has been deeply committed to finding and supporting solutions to the public health epidemic of prescription drug misuse for many years. Through the Cardinal Health Foundation, we focus our commitment on Generation Rx and community initiatives of the company’s Opioid Action Program.
