McKesson Launches Project Oasis to Advance Health Equity in Underserved Communities

McKesson Corporation launches Project Oasis to promote health equity in underserved communities, focusing on addressing pharmacy deserts, particularly in urban areas. Avondale, OH, within Cincinnati, is chosen as the first site, where Dr. Emmanuel "Manny" Ayanjoke leads Altev Community Pharmacy with support from McKesson. The initiative aims to bridge healthcare disparities by facilitating independent pharmacy ownership. Nimesh Jhaveri, EVP and Chief Impact Officer at McKesson, underscores the company's commitment to advancing health outcomes for all. Dr. Ayanjoke expresses pride in being part of Project Oasis, dedicated to providing compassionate care to Avondale residents. McKesson pledges to further its health equity efforts in line with its mission of improving care for every patient.
