Company > Community Involvement

Cardinal Health at-Home is proud to take an active role in helping others and giving back to our community. As an organization, we donate thousands of employee volunteer hours each year to helping charitable agencies with facility maintenance, staffing for events or whatever tasks they need. Our annual, employee-driven charity drives have provided tens of thousands of dollars in donations for vital disease research and assistance for those with various medical conditions. In times of crisis, our organization and employees have stepped up to offer urgent relief for those devastated by earthquake, tsunami and other disasters.

Here are just a few of the organizations that Cardinal Health at-Home proudly supports:
