"In February 2015, the McKesson drug distribution facility in Memphis, Tennessee experienced a roof collapse due to an ice storm. The damage...(threatened) the CDC's entire US supply of vaccines for children. With Steve and Lonnie leading, the entire POA team provided 24/7 support to McKesson. With POA's collaboration, McKesson was able to stabilize the situation, install a new controller, and get it operational. In this situation, partnering with the right company saved McKesson from a potential $876,000,000 loss."
