McKesson was founded in 1833 in New York City by John McKesson and Charles Olcott to import and sell wholesale therapeutic drugs and chemicals. In 1855 the company was one of the first wholesale businesses to manufacture drugs, with their fluid extracts, pills, tablets, and tinctures winning medals for its pioneering work.
Over the next 100 years or more McKesson continued to grow, providing innovative ways for distribution and ever increasing in size and services. By the 1990’s, McKesson decided to focus more on health care by trimming some of its unrelated businesses and acquiring General Medical, the largest distributor of medical-surgical supplies.
With over 200,000 medical-surgical products in every major medical-surgical category, McKesson is one of the leaders in offering medical supplies to primary care practices, surgery centers, health systems, home health agencies, long-term care facilities, hospitals and medical facilities, pharmacies, and many more facilities around the world.
Over the past 180 years, McKesson has played and continues to play a role in helping to shape the design and direction of the healthcare industry by setting high standards for healthcare supply and through their introduction of affordable and innovative medical-surgical products in the health industry’s technology revolution.
