Greenville, SC – Cardinal Health Enhances Home Healthcare with New Facility
Cardinal Health has inaugurated a new distribution center for its at-Home Solutions business in Greenville, South Carolina, furthering its commitment to the growing home healthcare sector. This state-of-the-art facility is set to create approximately 200 jobs in the region and is designed to support the increasing demand for home healthcare services.
The new center covers an impressive 350,000 square feet and stands as the largest facility dedicated to Cardinal Health’s at-Home Solutions efforts. The center is equipped with advanced automation, artificial intelligence, and robotics to efficiently manage the shipping of nearly 8,000 packages daily, catering to the needs of over five million customers who require medical supplies for chronic or critical conditions.
Supporting a Growing Industry
The U.S. home healthcare industry is on a trajectory of rapid growth, projected to expand from over $100 billion in 2024 to $176.3 billion by 2032. This growth is largely attributed to an aging population and an increase in chronic health conditions. Specifically, more than 80 million Americans are expected to be 65 or older by 2040, with many individuals managing at least one chronic health issue.
Cardinal Health’s at-Home Solutions plays a crucial role in this evolving landscape, enabling patients to manage their health from home. The packages shipped from the new facility include essential supplies for diabetes management, incontinence, ostomy needs, and maternal health, underlining the diversity of services being offered.
Strategic Location and Community Impact
Greenville is recognized for its robust manufacturing and distribution workforce, making it an ideal location for Cardinal Health’s latest distribution center. Local community leaders have noted the positive impact that this facility will have on the area, emphasizing both the innovation it brings and its contribution to the quality of life in Greenville.
In addition to job creation, the establishment of the new distribution center underscores Cardinal Health’s emphasis on supply chain resiliency. This initiative reflects the company’s preparedness to accommodate the significant growth in home healthcare services, driven by increased demand for medical supplies.
Commitment to Patient Care
Cardinal Health operates with a clear motto that emphasizes the direct impact their products have on the lives of patients. The timely delivery of medical supplies is central to this mission, ensuring that patients have access to the resources they need for effective health management.
The new distribution center is the second facility built from the ground up by Cardinal Health to support its at-Home Solutions business, highlighting the company’s strategic approach to expanding its operations in response to the evolving needs of the home healthcare sector. With this expansion, Cardinal Health not only strengthens its position in the market but also reinforces its commitment to improving patient care through timely and reliable supply deliveries.
