A job search isn't just a one-sided hunt. You must also feel as though this is a good fit for you. Your interviewer wants to hear that you have researched the company and found it to be a good fit. Although it may be evident that the organization fits your mold of an ideal employer since you applied for the job, the interviewer wants to ensure you will be a long-term employee if offered the position.

Before your interview, put some serious thought into the qualities you would find in an ideal employer. Your research on the organization and the job will give some good insight into the company culture and can provide some great tidbits to include in your answer. Be specific in your response while keeping the conversation positive. Avoid speaking poorly of any previous managers or organizations.

I look forward to this opportunity to be a part of the Cardinal Health team for the duration of my career."

It sounds like you've given careful thought to the kind of employer that will best align with your personal and professional values--good for you! To round out your response, I suggest adding a brief sentence that specifically names Cardinal Health as fitting the mold for the kind of company you aspire to work for. Interviewers like to know that you are as interested in the company ad they are in you!

I am at the point in my career where I want to leave a legacy that made an impact on healthcare. I think the ideal company has a mission to not just make money, but to make the communities they serve live longer and happier lives. I think the mission of Cardinal to provide caregivers with affordable tools to help patients definitely fits that ideal.
