How does Henry Schein Cares relate to the commercial business?
Henry Schein Cares is the firm's global corporate social responsibility program, organized as a separate initiative beneath the public-company umbrella. It channels the 'doing well by doing good' ethos that founder Henry Schein emphasized in 1932, directing resources toward healthcare access and community support without mingling funds with the distribution and technology operations.
