“The Business of Better Health”

The healthcare system alone can’t be blamed for the crisis in health costs, John Hammergren, chairman, president, and chief executive officer of McKesson Corporation, told the October 2 meeting of the Boston College Chief Executives' Club. “The health of our population bears a great deal of the responsibility,” said Hammergren. He encouraged employers to help their employees become informed healthcare consumers. Wayne Budd, senior counsel at Goodwin Procter, introduced Hammergren.
