Cardinal Health adds ex-House legislative director

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on June 26, 2018

Cardinal Health has added a House legislative director to its government relations team, just as the Fortune 500 company finds itself steeped in controversy over its alleged contributions to the opioid epidemic.

Caitlin Wilson was most recently LD to Rep. Charlie Dent (R-Pa.), who resigned from Congress last month. She joins Cardinal as manager of government relations.

In recent days, numerous groups have announced lawsuits against Cardinal, the country's second largest distributor of opioid drugs, for its alleged role in fueling the opioid crisis. The House last week passed a bipartisan bill aimed at tackling the epidemic and awaits a Senate response.
