That’s what we’re all about. Since 2001, Cardinal Health and the Cardinal Health Foundation have contributed more than $150 million in cash and product donations to hundreds of non-profit organizations both domestically and abroad, focusing on improving healthcare and positively impacting hundreds of thousands of lives worldwide.At Cardinal Health, we like to think of ourselves as the business behind healthcare. We provide inventive solutions so doctors, nurses, pharmacists and other clinicians can focus on what’s most important—their patients. We take a similar approach to giving back.

We help industry-leading associations and healthcare providers improve the efficiency, effectiveness and excellence of healthcare. Together with our employees, we provide funding and volunteer resources to help innovative non-profit organizations directly improve the lives of those in their communities who need it most. Whether it’s helping to renovate a school in Thailand or filling backpacks with food to ensure a needy child doesn’t go hungry in Kentucky, we believe that by sharing our time and talent, our 30,000 employees can help make a difference in the communities where they live and work.

And because our commitment to community isn’t limited to our hometowns, we help our friends in need all around the world by partnering with international relief agencies to donate critical medical supplies and funding to those who need them in times of disaster.

We give with purpose to make a meaningful difference in the health and wellness of our communities and our world.

To our customers, shareholders, employees and the communities we serve:

At Cardinal Health, it is our firm belief that giving back to the community is a fundamental responsibility for our company. We have made this a key underpinning of our culture and values, and we strive to accomplish it through a focused approach to our community endeavors.

We take our community role very seriously and are committed to being a responsible and engaged corporate partner. We strategically target our philanthropic support to work toward three main goals: enhancing healthcare effectiveness; improving the health and vibrancy of the communities where we live and work; and supporting our employees in their efforts to give back to their local communities. In addition to direct funding to programs that are working toward these strategic goals, we donate millions of dollars worth of pharmaceutical and medical products annually to cities and towns hard-hit by unimaginable disasters.

In the following pages of this inaugural community report, I invite you to learn more about some of the results-oriented programs and partnerships that help improve the way healthcare is delivered. Read about how targeted funding is helping to meet the basic healthcare needs of at-risk populations. And learn about some of the exciting ways Cardinal Health employees are sharing their time and talents to add value to their communities and make the world a better place, including highlights from the more than 70 Cardinal Health locations throughout the world that participated in our first-ever, two-week international volunteer drive.

The most inspiring aspect of our community involvement is working with dozens of innovative non-profit organizations and thousands of community-minded Cardinal Health employees. To each of our non-profit and employee partners, I offer my heartfelt gratitude for allowing us to support you in your many efforts to improve healthcare – and the communities around you.

Sincerely,

George S. Barrett Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Cardinal Health

In Their Own Words

We’re grateful to our many non-profit partners who take the time to tell us about the impact our funding and volunteer efforts are having on their communities. When we put all their feedback together, some common themes—and common words—shine through. Words like community. Safety. Children. Health. And help. These are the words that remind us of the importance of giving with purpose.

Grants to improve healthcare efficiency, effectiveness and excellence

In 2008, Cardinal Health launched the first and largest private fund of its kind—one that supports hospital programs that enhance quality, reduce costs and improve efficiency. To date, this funding has helped more than 100 hospitals implement measurable, evidence-based practices to improve the way they manage, administer and monitor patient medications, reduce healthcare-associated infections and improve operating room efficiencies.

Solutions for Patient Safety

As the founding sponsor of and ongoing partner in the Solutions for Patient Safety initiative, Cardinal Health collaborated with the Ohio Hospital Association, the Ohio Children’s Hospital Association, the Ohio Business Roundtable and 25 hospitals across the state, with one common goal: To make Ohio the safest place in the nation for healthcare. Results to date include:

• Participating central Ohio hospitals reduced bloodstream Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections by 51%, with an estimated savings of nearly $1.3 million per year. They also reduced central line associated bloodstream infections in intensive care units by more than 50%, equating to an annual savings of $3.1 million.

• Participating children’s hospitals reduced adverse drug events by 33% and surgical site infections by half, dramatically improving the quality of care for hundreds of children and saving an estimated $600,000 per year, statewide.

• CEOs and board members from all 25 participating hospitals took part in board development programs facilitated by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement. These educational sessions help board leaders understand the critical role they play in creating a culture of safety in the hospitals they support.

University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center, Albuquerque, N.M.

With funding from the Cardinal Health Foundation, the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center in Albuquerque and 13 other acute care facilities across the state implemented interventions that resulted in a 48% reduction in healthcare- acquired MRSA infections. That translated into an estimated annual savings of $850,000, preventing 127 incidents of MRSA and saving four lives.

Between 2008 and 2010, we invested $10 million in programs that will lead to direct and long-lasting improvements in healthcare efficiency, cost-effectiveness and quality. We define that as saving days spent in the hospital and dollars spent on healthcare. But the most important measure of this work is its ability to save patients’ lives.

“The one word that best describes Boston University’s Pharmacy Leadership Institute is transformative. It was the most empowering, valuable and impactful educational program I’ve ever experienced.”

Michelle C. Corrado Pharm.D. System Director of Pharmacy Services Hallmark Health System, Inc., Boston, Mass.

“The ASHP Foundation and Cardinal Health Foundation share a commitment to supporting programs that advance pharmacists’ leadership skills, improve medication safety and disseminate best practices so that patients may ultimately be assured they’ll receive the highest-quality care.”

Stephen J. Allen, M.S. Executive Vice President and CEO American Society of Health-Systems Pharmacists

“By giving patients a safe and easy way to dispose of unused and unneeded medications at local community pharmacies, we’re helping to reduce the abuse and misuse of medication while raising awareness of this major public health and safety issue.”

Phil Schneider Senior Consultant, Strategic Programs National Community Pharmacist Association and NCPA Foundation

Lifelong learning is crucial to a healthcare provider’s ability to create and implement innovative solutions to our nation’s most pressing healthcare challenges. That’s why we support continuing education for clinicians and recognize those who are improving the way healthcare is delivered.

saving days, dollars and lives

Supporting clinician education

We’ve been proud supporters of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement’s (IHI) 100,000 Lives and 5 Million Lives campaigns, which identified and shared best practices for improving patient safety with thousands of hospitals nationwide. We also provide scholarships to help healthcare leaders attend IHI training programs that teach them how to implement evidence-based practices that improve patient safety.

Since 2000, we’ve also partnered with the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) and Boston University to offer the Pharmacy Leadership Institute. More than 280 pharmacists have since graduated from the program, which develops visionary leaders who inspire transformational improvements in the way patient care is delivered.

Recognizing healthcare innovations

We sponsor the ASHP Award for Excellence in Medication-Use Safety, the only national honor that recognizes collaborative, pharmacist-led initiatives that successfully improve patient safety.

Each year’s finalists receive a cash award in honor of their accomplishments. They also share their winning best practices with other hospitals across the nation.

We also support the National Community Pharmacist Association’s (NCPA) nationwide prescription drug disposal program. This cutting-edge initiative provides patients with a safe way to dispose of unused and unwanted medications, helping to reduce the likelihood of medication misuse and abuse.

North and South Carolina and Virginia

Novant Health, a health system primarily operating in North and South Carolina and Virginia, received the Award for Excellence in Medication-Use Safety in 2009. They launched a coordinated patient care project that reduced hospital readmissions by 14% by ensuring patients understood how to take their medications not only when they were in the hospital, but also after they were discharged. Rex Healthcare in Raleigh, N.C., was a finalist for the 2009 award for its ‘Stop the Traveling Clot’ initiative, which reduced blood clots and resulted in a 12.6% decline in hospital readmissions.

We support programs that meet basic healthcare needs and teach children and at-risk populations skills that will lead to a lifetime of good health. This work also helps improve the cost efficiency of healthcare by helping underserved populations prevent chronic illnesses before they start.

McGaw Park, Ill.

Because we know that managing serious illnesses and chronic diseases like cancer and diabetes can be complicated and overwhelming, we support organizations like Chicago’s Cancer Wellness Center and HealthReach, Inc. The Cancer Wellness Center links cancer patients and their families with services that support their physical, emotional and psychological needs during and after treatment. HealthReach provides comprehensive diagnostic testing, individualized education, medication therapy and support to help more than 800 patients follow through with chronic disease treatment plans, so they can successfully manage their health.

We’re committed to improving the health, wellness and vibrancy of the communities where our employees live and work. So every year, we award grants ranging from $5,000 to $35,000 to non-profit organizations in the five U.S. and four international cities where Cardinal Health has a high concentration of employees. These local grants are focused on three areas: supporting healthy lifestyles, improving health literacy among underserved populations and preventing the abuse and misuse of prescription medications. in

Healthcare systems are extremely complex and can be very challenging to navigate. Millions of people have difficulty understanding their medical instructions and insurance agreements, and many don’t understand how to take their medicines properly.

That’s why we support programs that teach people how to use the resources and services available to them. For example, we help provide home visits, education and advocacy for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease, cancer and diabetes. We also support outreach, health education and advocacy programs for those who speak English as a second language.

“This kind of funding and support plays a critical role in our ability to provide the community with important health information and fund life-saving research that can ensure that one day all babies are born healthy.”

Megan Brocato Community Director, March of Dimes Louisville, Ken.

“By helping us start new projects, like our Milk Bank, which provides formula and dried milk to young children, Cardinal Health plays an important role in helping us to efficiently help those in our community who have limited resources.”

Increasing awareness and encouraging action

We partnered with The Ohio State University College of Pharmacy to develop an online toolkit that increases public awareness of prescription medication abuse and encourages healthcare providers, community leaders, parents, teens and college students to actively work with local schools and community organizations to prevent it.

Go to http://www.cardinalhealth.com/generationrx/ to download the free toolkit and help spread the word about prescription drug safety in your own community.

Committed to a healthier, more vibrant hometown

As central Ohio is home to our corporate headquarters and more than 10% of our employees, we support long-term capital projects for a variety of the community’s most established and well-respected non-profit organizations. We also support key destination venues that make central Ohio a more vibrant place to live and work.

Whether we are helping our local food bank expand its facility to house fresh fruits and vegetables to feed hungry families, or connecting more children with our hometown’s nationally recognized zoo and aquarium, Cardinal Health is committed to helping ensure all central Ohioans have access to food, shelter, the arts and quality care for decades to come.

Preventing the abuse and misuse of prescription medication

We’re committed to helping to counter these trends by developing and supporting local and national initiatives that educate youth, their parents and the elderly about the dangers of prescription medication abuse and what they can do to prevent it. We also empower our employees and our customers with the information, tools and resources they need to join our efforts to educate their families and communities about this growing public health issue. Working together, our goal is to stop prescription drug abuse before it starts.

investing in our communities

“We are so proud to partner with the Cardinal Health Foundation to take expert pediatric healthcare to underserved children in our community. Their funding of the Ronald McDonald Care Mobile will make a lasting impact on the health and well-being of thousands of children.”

GenerationPreventing the Misuse and Abuse of Prescription Medications

?Frequently Asked Questions

Which types of prescription medications

are most commonly abused?

The types of medications most commonly abused

are prescription painkillers (e.g., OxyContin®,

Vicodin®), sedatives/tranquilizers (e.g., Valium®,

Xanax®), and stimulants (e.g., Adderall®, Ritalin®).

Why would the government approve

these medications, and why would doctors

prescribe them, if they are not safe?

Prescription medications used properly under medical

supervision have the ability to prevent or cure disease

and alleviate symptoms, but any medication also has

the potential for harm. That is why they require a

prescription, so that a qualified health professional has

evaluated the risks and benefits for their use in a specific

patient and will monitor the outcomes of their use.

Why shouldn’t I use someone else’s prescription

medications if I think I have the same condition?

Only a qualified health professional can appropriately

diagnose disease and evaluate whether or not a specific

medication is right for you. Everyone’s condition

and health statistics are different, therefore, what is

right for one person may not be right for another.

What’s wrong with using prescription

stimulants to help me think more clearly?

Prescription stimulants can be very effective in

treating appropriately-diagnosed conditions (e.g.,

ADHD). However, these types of drugs have potential

negative health consequences, especially when used

without medical supervision. Furthermore, while

they can clearly help a person focus more intently on

their work, there is no evidence that they enhance

learning. In addition, it is against federal laws to

obtain these medications without a prescription.

Are non-prescription medications of concern?

Any medication has the potential to help us live better lives

if used appropriately, but they also have the potential to

do harm. Non-prescription medications are no exception

and should only be used as directed. The ingredients of

some non-prescription medications (e.g., cough & cold

medications containing dextromethorphan) are sometimes

abused for the feelings they cause, and poison control

center calls as well as emergency department visits relating

to these products have increased significantly as a result.

There’s a reason for the prescription

Name Name

Date

Thank you for choosing to be a part of the GenerationRx Outreach Program.

By now you should have a sense of the program and its objectives – to increase awareness about the dangers of prescription drug abuse and encourage action. It can be as simple as having a conversation with others about this problem. The hope is that you will collaborate with a local pharmacist or other health professional to educate the members of your community.

The toolkit includes:• Brochure (to be used to introduce

the program to a co-presenter)

• PowerPoint slides with talking points

• Quiz for the audience

• Key messages and resources

• A handout containing frequently asked questions

• Videos from the Partnership for a Drug-Free America

• A commitment card

We suggest that you present the brochure to a pharmacist or other health professional you know (or at a pharmacy you currently use) and offer to work with someone on their staff to deliver a short (15-minute) program at a local community gathering such as a meeting of the PTO or PTA, Rotaries, civic associations, faith-based groups, etc.

We envision these short programs to include the use of the provided slides. Consider dividing up the slides between you and your co-presenter so that you are both comfortable with the material being presented. Following the presentation, you are encouraged to engage your audience in a brief Q&A/discussion and distribute copies of the handout. Remember, this should be informal. No need to be nervous.

Don’t feel like you have to be the ultimate expert. Your co-presenter can provide much of the content support you need. We have also provided resources for your audience (and you) to learn more. The messages are really quite simple:

1. Prescription medications have many positive benefits when used appropriately.

2. Prescription medications are being misused and abused.

3. You can do something about it!

The toolkit provides statistics to back-up these messages.

You can do this! Our partners at The Ohio State University College of Pharmacy are available to provide support to you if needed and welcome the opportunity to work with you to help our community understand this issue. Don’t hesitate to contact them if you have questions or need assistance in preparing for a presentation.

Dr. Kenneth Hale Dr. Nicole Kwiek614.292.4717 [email protected] 614.688.5951 [email protected]

You can make a difference! Unintentional drug poisoning is the second leading cause of accidental death throughout the United States and the leading cause in many states. Using the Generation Rx Outreach Program toolkit and the expertise of a community pharmacist or other health professional, you can raise awareness of this problem and help others understand the catastrophic consequences of misusing or abusing medications.

Please get involved. Share your stories with us and any photos from your presentations to show how our Cardinal Health employees are working to keep communities safe.

America’s biggest drug problem is not on the street … it’s in our medicine cabinets. In fact, prescription medication abuse is the second leading cause of accidental death in the United States. More Americans abuse prescription drugs than cocaine, heroin, hallucinogens and inhalants combined, and an astounding one in five teens abuses a prescription drug at least once in their lifetime.

Real change happens when people rally together to work toward a common goal. Feeding hungry children, shipping care packages to our troops overseas, joining a team to raise money to fight diseases like cancer and heart disease … it’s through grassroots efforts like these that our employees are making the most dramatic impact on the lives of those around them. em

Employee match and volunteer grants

Our employees have always embraced opportunities to help their communities. We encourage this spirit of giving by matching contributions they make to causes that are important to them. Donations to health-related organizations are matched dollar-for-dollar and donations to other non-profit organizations are matched at 50%.

We also award hundreds of grants to non-profit organizations each year, in recognition of our employees’ volunteer, fundraising and non-profit leadership efforts.

Essential to Community Days

While our employees volunteer year-round, Cardinal Health employees from around the world share their time and talent to support their local communities for two weeks each year during Essential to Community Days. During this annual volunteer and community fundraising drive, employee donations and company matches total more than $2 million, and more than 70 facilities from around the world participate in volunteer service projects.

When it comes to giving, employees at eight of our worldwide locations set the standard, with nearly 100% participation in our annual fundraising drive: El Paso, Texas; St. Charles, Miss.; Zanesville, Ohio; Wheeling, W.V.; Jacksonville, Texas and Cuauhtémoc, Delicias and Juárez, Mexico.

Whether it’s serving on non-profit boards of directors or volunteering time to mentor students in need, our employees continue to inspire us with the creative and meaningful ways they find to give back.

The Haiti Earthquake: A coordinated, compassionate response

The devastating 2010 earthquake in Haiti that left more than 200,000 people dead and injured is considered one of the worst natural disasters in more than 200 years. When news of the tragedy hit, Cardinal Health was there, donating more than $1 million in emergency medical supplies and hygiene kits to key international relief agencies. Many of these supplies were combined with donations from other organizations to create family survival kits through World Vision. These kits provided a family of five with basic necessities such as shelter, cooking supplies and hygiene supplies for a week. Employee donations to World Vision’s Haiti relief effort exceeded $100,000 and were matched 100% by the Cardinal Health Foundation.

We’ve responded to domestic tragedies such as Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the 2008 California wildfires. We’ve also responded to international tragedies including the 2004 tsunami, the 2008 cyclone in Myanmar, South Asia and the 2008 earthquake in China.

We’re proud that our world-class distribution services, dedicated employees and commitment to “giving with purpose” consistently come together to make a difference in communities hard-hit by disaster.

Product donations from Cardinal Health play a critical role in disaster relief efforts in cities throughout Africa, Asia, Central America, Eastern Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and the United States.
