Pharmaceuticals, medical and laboratory products distributor Cardinal Health opened a distribution center in Greenville, SC, dedicated solely to at-home healthcare medical supplies.
At 350,000 square feet, this is the largest distribution center supporting the Cardinal Health At-Home Solutions business to date and only the second distribution center the business has built from the ground up, company officials said in an Aug. 28 news release.
Cardinal Health At-Home Solutions President Rob Schlissberg said there is “tremendous growth opportunity” as healthcare continues to shift to the home, particularly in the aging population.
“Our expansion into Greenville allows us to continue to deliver on our promises to customers and their patients, while creating a resilient supply chain to support this sustained growth,” Schlissberg said.
Local warehouse employees will work alongside the latest automation, artificial intelligence and robotics technology to ship nearly 8,000 packages daily directly to patients’ homes. These packages include products like diabetic supplies like continuous glucose monitors, incontinence and ostomy supplies, breast pumps, enteral nutrition pumps and formulas.
Cardinal Health — No. 3 on MDM’s Top Distributor’s List for Pharmaceuticals & Healthcare — opened another distribution center in Ohio just a week earlier.
