MELVILLE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 13, 2020-- Henry Schein, Inc. (Nasdaq: HSIC) announced that it is accepting applications for the Global Product Donation Program, which provides a broad variety of health care products and supplies to selected medical and dental nonprofit organizations to support their efforts to expand access to care for underserved communities.

The Global Product Donation Program is an initiative of Henry Schein Cares, the global corporate social responsibility program of Henry Schein, Inc., which aims to expand access to health care for underserved and at-risk populations around the world by promoting wellness, prevention, treatment, and education; providing emergency preparedness and relief; and building health care capacity.

“Henry Schein has worked for two decades to build capacity by supporting community health organizations who share our commitment to expanding access to care, and as the COVID-19 pandemic has progressed, the need to address health disparities within underserved communities of color is even more urgent,” said Jennifer Kim Field, Vice President, Corporate Social Responsibility, Henry Schein, Inc. “We are pleased to assist nonprofit organizations through the Global Product Donation Program so they can help provide care for people who might otherwise go without.”
