The DC consolidates two existing warehouses into a single, larger location, and adds approximately 74,000-square-feet of inventory capacity while maintaining the current workforce. Once operational, the facility is expected to ship an average of 10,000 packages daily to patients’ homes nationwide.

“Our business plays a critical role in the lives of the patients we serve, and we are honored to continue this important work in the Fort Worth community,” Cardinal Health’s President of at-Home Solutions Rob Schlissberg said in a Jan. 14 news release. “When it comes to delivering medical supplies directly to patients in need, there is absolutely no room for error.
