Supporting care no matter where it’s delivered
Right now, the practice of medicine is moving closer to
patients through outpatient healthcare centers in their
own neighborhoods, and Cardinal Health is focused on
delivering the best service solutions to each of these
points of care. From hospitals to surgery centers to
physician o ces and clinical labs, we’ve aligned with
the changing needs of our customers and positioned
ourselves to be more responsive to them. We’re focused
on consistent, reliable service to support patient care as
it migrates across hospitals and ambulatory sites, and—
with services like our freight and inventory management
programs—we’re taking a proactive approach to
helping our customers reduce their operating costs.

creating an optimal mix of products that is more cost-
e ective and delivers more value. Through continuous,
comprehensive evaluation of our product lines, we
can make sure we have the right products for the right
customers, at exactly the right time, with the right
economics. We are using our scale to create stronger
relationships with medical product manufacturers in
order to bring the product o erings our customers prefer.
And we’ll do it all with an outstanding level of quality
and service that brings our customers peace of mind.
