April 21, 2026 5:30pm - 8:30pm ET
About This Event
Join FourBlock and McKesson for the DFW FourBlock & Friends: McKesson Veterans Symposium, a dynamic in-person event designed to connect transitioning service members, veterans, and military spouses with meaningful career opportunities in the healthcare distribution and life sciences industry. McKesson, one of the largest healthcare companies in the world, is committed to advancing health outcomes — and they know that veterans bring the discipline, leadership, and mission-driven mindset that makes a real difference in this sector.
The healthcare supply chain and distribution industry is one of the fastest-growing sectors in the U.S. economy, offering a wide range of rewarding career paths that align naturally with the skills developed during military service. From logistics and operations to technology, compliance, and corporate strategy, companies like McKesson are actively seeking talent with the values and training that veterans possess. This symposium will give attendees a firsthand look at what it means to build a career in this industry and how to position themselves for success.
FourBlock's mission is to empower veterans to discover their purpose and build their careers — and events like this one are at the heart of that work. Whether you are early in your transition or actively exploring new opportunities, this symposium offers the industry insight, professional connections, and practical guidance you need to take your next step with confidence.
