In the first year of our Henry Schein CARES Package program, we provided kits containing more than $330,000 in donated product in support of nearly 300,000 patients.

For years, our Global Product Donation Program has helped us repurpose new, usable products with minor packaging imperfections or superficial damage, supporting our partners in meeting critical health and humanitarian needs more effectively. In 2024 alone, the program supplied more than $11 million in dental and medical products to more than 125 nonprofit partners.
