As we reflect on the past year at McKesson, our journey has been marked by innovation, celebration and a commitment to improving care in every setting. We've explored new horizons, from connecting the dots with the acquisition of McKesson Compile to transforming cell and gene therapy (CGT) care for patients with the launch of InspiroGene by McKesson.

We've witnessed the revolutionary work of the Sarah Cannon Research Institute, which is transforming cancer care by supporting access to advanced clinical trials and personalized treatments directly to local communities.  We also celebrated milestones, such as the 30th anniversary of Biologics by McKesson, which is a testament to our enduring impact on specialty pharmacy services.

Our commitment to nurturing the next generation of healthcare professionals was evident in our summer internship offerings, which equipped students with invaluable skills and experiences, and we've empowered growth with two leaders sharing how engagement within one of our employee resource groups (ERG) shaped their careers.

As we look back on these stories and more, we're reminded of the collective passion and purpose that drives us.

We invite you to take a closer look at the top five Our Stories articles of the year, each offering a unique glimpse into our ongoing journey to advancing health outcomes for all.
