McKesson Corporation Completes Acquisition of Core Ventures

Strengthens Community-Based Oncology Care with Florida Cancer Specialists & Research Institute Core Ventures

McKesson Corporation (NYSE: MCK) announced today that it has completed the acquisition of a controlling interest in Community Oncology Revitalization Enterprise Ventures, LLC (Core Ventures), a business and administrative services organization established by Florida Cancer Specialists & Research Institute, LLC (FCS). The acquisition advances community-based oncology care and enables McKesson to continue to accelerate clinical development, improve patient outcomes, and expand access to quality cancer care in local communities.

McKesson acquired an approximate 70% controlling interest in Core Ventures for about $2.49 billion. FCS physicians retained an approximate 30% interest.

FCS, a practice with more than 250 physicians and 280 advanced practice providers, across nearly 100 locations in Florida, remains independently owned and became a member of McKesson’s The US Oncology Network, a leading oncology organization, dedicated to advancing local and affordable cancer care and better patient outcomes.
