Henry Schein offers support in wake of Hurricane Isaac

The Henry Schein Cares disaster relief hotline is active and ready to support customers who may be affected by Hurricane Isaac.

The toll-free number for all customers -- 800-999-9729 -- is operational from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. EST.

The Henry Schein Cares disaster relief hotline is open year-round for dentists, physicians, and veterinarians who experience operational, logistical, or financial issues as a result of natural disasters. Henry Schein Cares is the corporate social responsibility program of Henry Schein.

"As Hurricane Isaac bears down on the Gulf Coast, we want to remind our customers in the affected region that the Henry Schein Cares disaster relief hotline is open and available to help with issues related to the severe weather," said James Breslawski, president and chief operating officer of Henry Schein, in a press release.

In addition to its disaster relief hotline, through the Henry Schein Cares global product donation program, healthcare supplies are provided to its nongovernmental organization (NGO) partners in advance of disasters, so that the product is ready for use immediately. Henry Schein Cares will also stand ready to work with its NGO partners if additional supplies are needed.
