Cencora harnesses the collective power and experience of our family of companies to help our customers and partners bring their healthcare innovations, hard work, and aspirations to patients around the world.

Through our distribution services, solutions, and expertise, we pave a reliable path to patients for manufacturers and care providers. We unlock global reach in 50 countries across the globe with local connections to ensure that patients have access to the therapies they need, when and where they need them. Our comprehensive and growing portfolio includes solutions developed in collaboration with our partners that span the full pharmaceutical product lifecycle. For manufacturers, we help them meet the logistical challenges that can arise during the clinical trial process and lay the foundation for a successful product launch. At the other end of the lifecycle, we strengthen pharmacies’ connection with patients in their community by providing tailored solutions and support. This includes patient access and adherence support services, data-driven insights to identify patient needs, and customized programs to address specific community health concerns, ultimately allowing pharmacists to engage more deeply with their patients on a local level.

Care providers of all kinds, including hospitals, health systems, pharmacies, physician practices, veterinarians, and more, depend on us.
