Henry Schein Cares Wing opens

Henry Schein, a distributor of health-care products and services to office-based practitioners, will celebrate June 2, 2010, the opening of the Henry Schein Cares Wing at the NYU College of Dentistry.

Housed on the second floor of the Dr. George and Ann Witkin Graduate Center for Clinical Excellence, the Henry Schein Cares Wing of the NYU College of Dentistry includes 56 dental chairs for the care of patients in the community.

There are more than 350,000 visits to the NYU College of Dentistry annually, which serves an ethnically and culturally diverse patient population in the country. NYU College of Dentistry students work in teams together with NYU faculty to provide care to patients.

Henry Schein donated equipment, technology, and health-care supplies valued at more than $2 million to support the NYU College of Dentistry through Henry Schein Cares, the company’s global social responsibility program. The opening of the Henry Schein Cares Wing builds on a two-decade long strategic partnership between Henry Schein and the NYU College of Dentistry.

In addition to the opening of the Henry Schein Cares Wing of the NYU College of Dentistry, Henry Schein Cares and the NYU College of Dentistry recently announced a five-year sponsorship of the dental school’s international outreach program: the NYU College of Dentistry -- Henry Schein Cares Global Dental Student Outreach Program.
