A longtime in-house lawyer at McKesson Corp. has moved to Uber Health as its legal director.

Lamis Hossain, who most recently had been assistant general counsel at McKesson Specialty Health since July 2016, joined the ride-hailing company’s health venture this month, according to her LinkedIn profile.

She first joined McKesson as staff counsel in September 2002 and held various leadership positions, including chief counsel of the medical imaging and ambulatory solutions division and senior lead counsel of its global sourcing, pharma packaging and corporate procurement division.

Prior to joining McKesson, Hossain worked in-house at Atlanta-based companies The Coca-Cola Co. and Cox Interactive Media Inc.

An Uber Health spokesperson did not immediately respond to a Corporate Counsel request for more information about the position and Hossain's hire.

Launched last year, Uber Health partners with health care providers to provide patients with transportation to and from medical appointments.

Hossain holds a bachelor of laws degree from the London School of Economics and Political Science and an LL.M. from Harvard Law School.
