\nHenry Schein, Inc. (Nasdaq: HSIC) today will open the Nasdaq Stock Market to recognize the vital role public-private partnerships play to catalyze change within health care and to celebrate the partners that the Company has worked with through the years to help enhance access to quality health care for patients most in need. The event will spotlight national programs, such as Give Kids A Smile\u00ae, Release the Pressure, and S.M.I.L.E. Healthcare Pathways\u2122, and feature the American Dental Association Foundation (ADAF), the National Medical Association (NMA), the National Dental Association (NDA), Robert I. Schattner Foundation (RIS), the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD), and other key partners.\n<\/p>\n
\n\u201cToday, we are pleased to celebrate our partnerships with key industry associations that have set the bar in helping to strengthen synergies between the public and private sectors to increase access to care,\u201d said Stanley M. Bergman, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Henry Schein. \u201cRecognizing the impact that has been made to identify and breakdown inequities in health care, and opportunities to diversify the health care profession, we look forward to building on our relationships to advance this work with key association and industry partners, including the ADAF, NMA, NDA, RIS, and AAPD. Thank you to all our partners who share in our commitment to help ensure at-risk and vulnerable populations have equitable access to quality health care.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\nSince the Company\u2019s founding, Henry Schein, Inc. has grown to become a global leader in delivering health care solutions for one million customers worldwide. Henry Schein has been a member of the FORTUNE\u00ae 500 since 2004 and a member of the S&P 500\u00ae stock index since 2015. With approximately 22,000 Team Schein Members and operations or affiliates in 32 countries and territories, Team Schein continues to expand its global footprint and its business offerings, which include 300 valued solutions that help improve operational success and clinical outcomes for health professionals.\n<\/p>\n
\nAs the Company continues to provide solutions to health care professionals, Henry Schein is expanding its work with key stakeholders to make the world healthier. Since 2003, Henry Schein has supported Give Kids A Smile, the American Dental Association Foundation\u2019s signature access-to-care program. To date, the program has helped deliver free oral health education and services to seven million underserved children.\n<\/p>\n
\n\u201cWhat began as a grassroots effort in St. Louis has become a national public-private collaboration that ensures access to quality oral health care for all children,\u201d said Dr. Craig Armstrong, Chair of the American Dental Association Foundation. \u201cThe success of GKAS would not be possible without the approximately 30,000 dental professionals who volunteer at local events each year in addition to national sponsors, Henry Schein and Colgate. My sincere appreciation and thanks to all of you who have been a part of the program, some from the very first day. We are all involved for the right reason \u2013 to Give Kids A Smile and help children in need.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\nIn addition to ADAF, Henry Schein has been working with the NMA and other partners in support of the Release the Pressure (RTP) program, which supports Black women in a movement for healthy blood pressure. RTP brings together a dedicated coalition of national health care professional organizations \u2014 NMA, Association of Black Cardiologists (ABC), American Heart Association (AHA), and Minority Health Institute (MHI) \u2014 with a shared goal of ensuring that Black women have the power, knowledge, opportunities, and resources to achieve optimal health. The program aims to reach more than 300,000 Black women, and to encourage making heart health a priority by taking its pledge at www.ReleaseThePressure.org<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n \n\u201cThe National Medical Association applauds the work that Henry Schein and its partners have done over the years and continues to do to advance equity and access for marginalized communities,\u201d said Garfield A. D. Clunie, M.D., 123rd President of the National Medical Association. \u201cIt cannot be overstated how elevated blood pressure can affect one\u2019s health and life expectancy. The Release the Pressure Campaign serves as a source of education and awareness of the importance of blood pressure control and will help reduce the stigma that comes with this diagnosis. It is a sincere honor to be able to partner with Henry Schein and help reduce the disease burden of high blood pressure in women.\u201d\n<\/p>\n \nSimilarly, Henry Schein has been working with NDA, RIS, and other partners to promote oral health equity among people of color, advocating for the needs of and mentoring dental students of color, and raising the profile of the profession in our communities. This summer Henry Schein, NDA, and RIS, along with other key partners, plan to offer a summer camp for underrepresented teens, exposing students to career opportunities within the oral health profession to encourage greater interest in the profession.\n<\/p>\n \n\u201cThe historic mission of the National Dental Association includes promoting oral health equity by harnessing the collective power of our members,\u201d said Marlon Henderson, DDS, 99th President of the National Dental Association. \u201cIt is refreshing and reassuring to have a committed partnership with Henry Schein, which shares our goal of eliminating oral health disparities. Like Henry Schein, the NDA is intentional in our efforts to enhance access to care through community outreach and by ‘bridging the generational gap’ to support minority dental students and to promote more opportunities for dental education.\u201d\n<\/p>\n \nHenry Schein remains steadfast in the Company\u2019s commitment to engaging in innovative public-private partnerships to advance equitable access to health care for all.

For 22 consecutive years, Henry Schein has been named to FORTUNE\u00ae magazine\u2019s \u201cWorld\u2019s Most Admired Companies\u201d list, and ranked first in the Wholesalers: Health Care category for the fifth consecutive year.
