Company Commits Over $200,000 in Cash and Health Care Product Donations, Matches Employee Contributions

In the wake of the devastation caused by the flooding in Brazil, Henry Schein, Inc. (Nasdaq: HSIC) is raising money for recovery and rebuilding efforts, donating much-needed health care supplies, and aiding customers who may be impacted by the crisis.

The Company and the Henry Schein Cares Foundation (HSCF) are opening the 2024 Relief Fund to benefit those affected by the flooding. The Company and HSCF will match employee contributions and will donate essential health care supplies to its partner relief organizations operating on the ground, bringing the Company’s total commitment to more than $200,000.

“We offer our deepest sympathies to the people of Brazil and remain committed to helping health happen during this crisis,” said Stanley M. Bergman, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Henry Schein. “We are partnering with trusted and long-standing relief and recovery charities to ensure the availability of the critical supplies and resources required to provide health care within affected communities. At Henry Schein, our dedication to the communities we serve runs deep within our Company’s DNA, and we remain steadfast in our efforts to provide aid and resources for recovery during times of need.”

Customers in Brazil who experience operational, logistical, or financial issues caused by the floods can contact their local customer service and support number for assistance.
