Business
Cardinal Health, Inc. (NYSE: CAH) provides integrated healthcare services and products, distributing pharmaceuticals and medical supplies to hospitals, pharmacies, and healthcare providers worldwide. The company manufactures branded and private-label medical, surgical, and laboratory products, including masks, gloves, gowns, and exam apparel under brands such as Aspen Surgical, Cardinal Health, and Trudell; offers nuclear pharmacy services, patient safety solutions, and pharmacy management software; and operates through three main segments: Pharmaceutical, Medical, and Home Health & Hospice. Its product portfolio encompasses over 20,000 national brand pharmaceuticals, over 2,000 generic drugs, and a broad range of medical-surgical supplies like needles, syringes, IV sets, and wound care items; services include third-party logistics, specialty pharmaceutical distribution, and proprietary navigation technology for at-home care. Cardinal Health serves independent retail pharmacies, chains, hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, clinical laboratories, and physician offices primarily in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico, with headquarters in Dublin, Ohio, where it was founded in 1971. In recent developments, Cardinal Health completed the acquisition of Integrated Pharmacy Solutions in October 2024, expanding its 503A sterile compounding capabilities to support hospital pharmacies nationwide; launched a new Advanced Call Center in July 2024 to enhance customer service for its Medical segment; and announced a strategic distribution agreement with the Novo Nordisk Patient Assistance Program (PAP) in November 2024 to broaden access to essential medications. The company also secured a five-year Pharmaceutical Supply Agreement with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in September 2024 valued at approximately $9.3 billion, reinforcing its position as a key government supplier; introduced the Cordless Navigation System for orthopedic procedures in 2024; and completed the divestiture of its Health Care Compliance business to RLDatix in December 2024. These moves reflect ongoing efforts to optimize operations, grow in high-margin areas like sterile compounding and navigation technology, and strengthen partnerships amid supply chain challenges.
