Previously known as AmerisourceBergen, we believe in the power of pharmaceuticals to improve care and well-being. By becoming Cencora, we unite our 46,000 team members under one identity in pursuit of a shared purpose: We are united in our responsibility to create healthier futures.

Our new name has connections to the words center, core, and heart, and is rooted in what we’ve always considered most important: putting our customers, their patients, and our team members at the center of everything we do.

At Cencora, we enable our customers and partners to bring their healthcare innovations, hard work, and aspirations to patients around the world.
Through our distribution services, solutions, and expertise, we connect manufacturers, care providers, and patients to ensure that those who need therapies can get what they need, when and where they need it. Our comprehensive and growing portfolio includes solutions that span the full pharmaceutical product lifecycle — from assisting manufacturers in meeting the logistical challenges that can arise during the clinical trial process to helping pharmacies connect with patients in their community.

Care providers of all kinds depend on us, including hospitals, health systems, pharmacies, physician practices, veterinarians, and more. We are the partner of choice for a global network of healthcare customers, providing secure, reliable access to pharmaceuticals and healthcare products and solutions that optimize providers’ ability to serve patients and animals.
