In response to the devastating earthquake in Haiti, Henry
Schein, Inc. (Nasdaq: HSIC) is aiding relief efforts by partnering
with several non-governmental organizations (NGOs) responding to
the disaster, as well as by opening its disaster relief fund. The
NGOs with which Henry Schein is partnering include Americares,
Catholic Medical Mission Board (CMMB), Give Hope Global, Heart to
Heart International, IsraAID, MAP International, MedShare, Project
C.U.R.E, Project HOPE, and World Vision.
Many of these NGOs are working through the Pan American Health
Organization (PAHO), with initial requests for critical medicines
and medical supplies, hygiene kits, water purification kits, and
personal protective equipment (PPE). Henry Schein’s commitment is
providing at least $250,000 in product support to its NGO
partners.
In addition to this vital product support, Henry Schein is

Cares Foundation to support relief efforts in Haiti. The Company

donation, and the Company will match Team Schein Member
contributions up to $25,000.

Schein once again stands ready to help the people of Haiti through
this latest catastrophe and to support the health care
professionals providing medical care,” said Stanley M. Bergman,
Henry Schein Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. “We
are committed to support the essential work of our NGO partners in
assisting the health care systems and people of Haiti with
rebuilding and recovery efforts, and we will continue to respond to
emerging needs as more information becomes available.”
