MELVILLE, N.Y., USA: Henry Schein, provider of health-care products and services to office-based practitioners, and the Henry Schein Cares Foundation have contributed more than US$375,000 in financial and product donations. The donations will help provide health care to those who have been affected by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, flood in Australia, earthquake in New Zealand, and tornadoes in the US.

The financial donations were made through the Henry Schein Cares Foundation, a tax-exempt organisation that works to foster, support and promote dental, medical and animal health by helping to increase access to care for communities around the world. Financial donations were also made directly by Henry Schein Halas and Provet, Henry Schein’s dental and animal-health businesses in Australia, as well as Henry Schein Shalfoon, Henry Schein’s dental business in New Zealand. These financial donations follow product donations made by Henry Schein Cares earlier through its NGO partners, including Direct Relief International, AmeriCares, the American Red Cross, and the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

“We are very pleased to offer this disaster relief support as part of our strong commitment to helping dental, medical and animal-health practitioners provide care to patients in need around the world,” said Stanley M. Bergman, Chairman and CEO of Henry Schein. “Many of these donations were made to professional associations representing our customers, which are working with non-governmental organisations and providing essential health-care services in affected areas in these four countries. For more than a decade, Henry Schein has been proud to support disaster relief efforts as part of our global mission to increase access to care for underserved and at-risk populations.”

The Henry Schein Tornadoes Relief Fund, first established in response to the tornadoes that struck the South in April, continues to provide support to other regions of the US subsequently struck by tornadoes.
