McKesson has announced its intent to separate McKesson Medical Surgical into an independent company – an exciting evolution that builds on MMS’s strong foundation and proven leadership in the Alternate Care space. As a standalone company, MMS would be positioned to unlock new opportunities to innovate, grow and lead with even greater agility and focus. We will also continue to be one of the largest medical-surgical distributors in the U.S., with over $11B in annual sales. This separation would accelerate our mission and empower us to shape a future defined by customer-centricity, bold thinking and operational excellence. For job seekers, it’s a unique moment to join a team that’s already making a meaningful impact and leading the way in shaping the future of healthcare delivery in Alternate Care settings – with even greater opportunity ahead as we prepare to become an independent company.
