Cardinal Health appointed Patricia A. Hemingway Hall as chair of its board, effective immediately, replacing Gregory B. Kenny after his retirement.

The leadership change comes as Cardinal Health said it will report third-quarter fiscal 2026 earnings on April 30. The company said it remains confident in its fiscal 2026 outlook.

Hemingway Hall brings prior operating experience as former president and chief executive officer of Health Care Service Corporation, the nation’s largest mutual health insurer.
