      Vision</a>. The donations will be used by the two organizations to 
      provide disaster response to those affected by Hurricane Harvey in the 
      Houston, TX area. In addition, McKesson is matching donations made by 
      its employees through the company’s donation matching program. 
      Altogether, McKesson’s donations currently total more than $300,000.
    </p>
<blockquote><p id='pull-quote'></p></blockquote>

    <p>
      “The current devastation in Houston is heartbreaking and it is clear 
      that it will take a significant amount of leadership, compassion and 
      teamwork to rebuild,” said John Hammergren, chairman and CEO, McKesson. 
      “With millions of individuals impacted by the storm and tens of 
      thousands of residents still without shelter, it is our hope that 
      McKesson’s donations will help on-the-ground organizations and 
      first-responders as they care for those in need.”
    </p>
    <p>
      As a primary distributor of medications and medical surgical supplies, 
      McKesson has significant operations in the Houston area, including 
      warehouses in Conroe and Houston, TX. With deep experience supporting 
      healthcare organizations and first-responders during natural disasters, 
      McKesson took proactive steps to prepare for Hurricane Harvey and its 
      aftermath. McKesson positioned extra employees at the company’s 
      neighboring facilities in anticipation of customer orders being shifted 
      due to pending operational challenges in Conroe and Houston. McKesson 
      also stocked extra inventory of key medications that are frequently in 
      short supply during a crisis at the Texas warehouses and neighboring 
      facilities.
    </p>
    <p>
      Many of McKesson’s employees have gone above and beyond to respond to 
      customer needs, such as driving six hours through the night to deliver 
      life-saving medications for premature babies in a local hospital’s 
      neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), or personally delivering a new type 
      of cancer medication to a hospitalized patient whose body was rejecting 
      the current course of treatment. McKesson’s pharmacy customers have also 
      demonstrated incredible compassion and commitment, including one 
      pharmacist who accessed his flooded pharmacy and delivered salvageable 
      medications by boat to patients in need.
    </p>
    <p>
      In addition to the contributions to Direct Relief and World Vision, 
      McKesson has partnered with the Red Cross, providing them with access to 
      McKesson’s warehouse space in Corpus Christi to use as a staging 
      location for their relief efforts in the area. The company has also 
      provided general and medical supplies for temporary shelters in the 
      Houston area, including diapers, baby food, insulin, drinks, and other 
      food items, as well as food, drinks and miscellaneous supplies to the 
      National Guard members stationed at Katy High School in Katy, TX.

      areas impacted by disaster.
    </p>
    <p>
      McKesson and the McKesson Foundation’s $100,000 cash donation is to 
      Direct Relief, a nonprofit that provides essential medical assistance 
      services to those affected by natural and manmade disasters. Direct 
      Relief is providing medical aid to individuals who have suffered from 
      the flooding and unstable conditions in the Houston area.
    </p>
    <p>
      “Direct Relief is deeply grateful for the generous act of McKesson and 
      the McKesson Foundation to assist the people who have had their lives 
      upended and the communities that have been slammed so hard by Hurricane 
      Harvey,” said Direct Relief President and CEO Thomas Tighe. “We share 
      McKesson’s keen sensitivity to and focus on the serious health risks 
      that exist in Harvey’s wake, and this support will translate directly 
      into people having access to medications and health services needed now 
      in the weeks and months ahead.”
    </p>
    <p>
      McKesson’s $150,000 in-kind donation of supplies is to World Vision, a 
      humanitarian organization dedicated to working with children, families 
      and their communities worldwide. The supplies include items such as 
      bandages, diapers, nebulizer kits, coolers, blankets, tissues, 
      shampoo/body wash, antiseptic gel, latex gloves and more.
