History
McKesson Corporation was founded in New York City as Charles M.Olcutt in 1828 and later in 1833 as Olcott McKesson & Co. by Charles Olcott and John McKesson. The company business began as an importer and wholesaler of botanical drugs. Danial Robbins joined the Company as a third partner who previously worked as an assistant to the original partners. Further, the Company Robbins was renamed McKesson & Robbins following Olcott's death in 1853. The Company successfully emerged from one of the most notorious business scandals- the 20th century- the McKesson & Robbins scandals. This watershed event significantly changed American auditing standards and securities regulations after 1938. In 1967, Foremost Dairies, founded by James Cash Penny, headquartered in San Fransisco, acquired McKesson & Robbins in a hostile takeover to form Foremost-McKesson Inc.

McKesson increased its market in medical technology by acquiring Per Se Technologies and Relay Health in 2006 and a Practice partner in 2007. McKesson owned the Oncology and physician services company U.S. Oncology Inc. in 2010 for $2.16 billion, which was integrated into the McKesson Speciality Health business. In June 2013, The Wall Street Journal published McKesson Chairman and CEO John Hammergren's pension benefit of $159 set a record for the largest pension on file.
