The McKesson scholarship has been a consistent source of support during her academic career. “When I thought I would not have everything financially figured out, the McKesson scholarship was always a blessing,” says Tradezha. “For many semesters it provided me with funds to get books and school supplies.” Tradezha is now looking toward the next step in her journey: dental school. McKesson Taking Care of Our Own Fund McKesson sponsors the Taking Care of Our Own Fund to support our employees during difficult times because we know sometimes employees face unexpected hardships and emergencies. Administered by the Emergency Assistance Foundation, the Fund provides financial support to cover expenses incurred as a result of personal hardships, emergencies or unexpected disasters. In FY21, the Fund awarded 628 support grants totaling more than $1.3 million to McKesson employees across the U.S. and Canada. Approximately 35 % of support grants in FY21 covered expenses related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. McKesson Cause Network In the summer of 2020, we launched the McKesson Cause Network, which champions cancer care and creates a support network through: • Cancer education and awareness • Knowledge and use of employee benefits and resources for those diagnosed with cancer • A place for cancer survivors and caretakers to connect with others who have similar experiences An initiative first proposed by our CEO, the Cause Network is dedicated to helping employees affected by cancer — whether they face diagnoses themselves or are taking care of family members — by offering valuable support when it’s most needed. WELL CERTIFICATIONS The WELL Building Standard (WELL) is a performance- based system for measuring, certifying, and monitoring features in the built environment that impact human health and wellbeing. WELL promotes clean air and water, daylight access and safe material use in addition to policies that require organizational transparency, civic engagement and equal access to health services and education. Points are earned for achievements in each WELL category, resulting in certification at the Silver, Gold or Platinum level. As part of McKesson’s employee health and wellness strategy, we aim to pursue WELL building certification for newly constructed or renovated U.S. offices. As part of this goal, McKesson earned WELL v1 Silver certification for two buildings in Scottsdale, Ariz., in November 2020. Our Irving, Texas, headquarters was certified in 2018.
