2. 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.

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.
3. 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.

University’s Pharmacy Leadership
Institute is transformative. It was the most
empowering, valuable and impactful
educational program I’ve ever experienced.”

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.

“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.

5. 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.
investing
communities
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.

6. 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
Rx
?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

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.

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.

9. 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.
$1Min emergency medical supplies
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.
