Henry Schein creates fund to aid tornado victims

In the wake of tornadoes that have claimed hundreds of lives and created a swath of devastation across the southeastern U.S., Henry Schein has activated its disaster relief hot line for dentists, physicians, and veterinarians who have experienced operational, logistical, or financial issues as a result of the disaster.

The toll-free number for all dental, medical, and animal health customers -- 800-999-9729 -- is operational from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. CDT.

In addition to activating the disaster relief hot line, Henry Schein has established the Tornadoes Relief Fund through the Henry Schein Cares Foundation. Henry Schein will match all donations contributed to this fund by Team Schein Members, and the proceeds will be applied directly and completely to relief efforts. Because tornadoes typically strike many regions of the U.S. throughout the summer months, the fund will remain open to provide aid for victims of future tornadoes.
