Tim Dungey, VP of health systems for McKesson Medical-Surgical, passed away on Feb. 22 as a result of cancer. He was 61.
Dungey joined McKesson in September 1987, and held executive positions in its extended care, pharmaceutical and acute care businesses. He served as VP, West, for Owens & Minor after O&M acquired McKesson’s acute care business in October 2006. In October 2008, he rejoined McKesson, and was named VP of health systems in September 2012.
“I have known Tim for close to 30 years,” said Gary Keeler, president of sales and marketing for McKesson Medical-Surgical. “We first met when he was at Red Line, which is now McKesson’s Extended Care business. We spent most of our time together talking about strategy and large accounts. I will always remember Tim as a creative and competitive friend who loved his kids and loved watching them grow in sports and personally.”
“We lost an exceptional leader, and an even better person,” said E.V. Clarke, managing partner, EV3 Solutions, and a long-time distribution executive. “Tim had a profound influence on so many of us who worked with him at Red Line, McKesson and Owens & Minor.
A high school and college athlete, Dungey coached all three of his children’s teams in basketball from elementary school through junior high school. He was an active leader in both youth and high school football programs for the Lakeridge community in Lake Oswego, Oregon, where he lived most of his adult life.
