Build a Career That Matters: David’s Story

When you walk into a McKesson distribution center, it’s easy to see the movement. Packages moving quickly, teams working in sync, technology helping everything run efficiently. What’s not always visible is the purpose behind every order and shipment.

For David, a Material Handler in one of our distribution centers, that purpose is what makes the work meaningful. David’s team supports outbound operations, ensuring packages are picked, processed, and shipped on time so customers receive what they need without delays.

What does a Material Handler do at McKesson?
Material Handlers in McKesson distribution centers help move life-changing medical supplies by picking, packing, and shipping orders efficiently and accurately. They work in a fast-paced environment, learn to operate equipment and automation systems, and play a direct role in delivering products that support patient care.

Technology and teamwork in action

David helps lead operations on an advanced system called the ASR machine. This technology allows the team to retrieve fast-moving items and perform multiple tasks at once, such as putting away inventory while picking orders.

The result is greater efficiency, helping more orders move through the system each day and reach customers faster. In a fast-paced, healthcare supply chain environment like this, teamwork is essential—and every role plays a part in delivering care. Watch this video to hear from David!

It’s not just a package, it’s a patient

For David, the meaning behind the work is deeply personal. Before joining McKesson, he researched the company and was drawn to its strong reputation and great benefits. But it became even more meaningful when he realized his own family was connected to that mission.

“My mom actually receives medical supplies distributed by McKesson,” he shares.

Today, David comes to work knowing the items he helps move through the distribution center could support people like his mom—and countless other patients.

A culture of growth and belonging

Since joining McKesson nearly seven years ago, David has found more than a job. He’s found a team where people are supported and encouraged to grow.

He describes an environment where leadership recognizes potential and creates opportunities for employees who want to develop their careers.

That sense of belonging is something he values and something he shares with others. In fact, he has referred family members to join him at McKesson, including his brother, who is now part of the team as well.

Build a career that makes a difference

At McKesson, distribution center roles like Material Handler, Delivery Driver, and Operations Supervisor are essential to delivering care. Every order picked, every route driven, and every process improved helps ensure patients receive the supplies they rely on.

If you’re looking for a place where your work matters, where you’re supported, and where you can build a future, this is it.
