Henry Schein has announced the annual launch of its Practice Pink® programme, an initiative that has raised more than $1.9 million in the past 17 years to support nonprofit organisations dedicated to cancer research and prevention.
Practice Pink is an initiative of Henry Schein Cares, the Company’s global corporate social responsibility programme. Through Practice Pink, Henry Schein, together with non-governmental organisations and supplier partners across North America and Europe, is helping dental and medical health care professionals raise awareness and support for a cure for breast cancer and other cancers.
By offering its customers a variety of pink products, including health care consumables, practice supplies, and apparel, Practice Pink supports important cancer research and prevention efforts.
As part of the company’s participation in the Practice Pink™ programme, Henry Schein Dental and Medical in the UK donates a percentage of the company’s sales in October and November from selected pink products to Cancer Research UK to support the organisation’s work in research, prevention efforts, early detection of the disease, and improving access to care.
The Practice Pink programme also supports U.S.-based organisations including the American Cancer Society, Cohen Children’s Medical Center of Northwell Health, and Stony Brook Children’s Hospital. The programme also supports various organisations around the world including ALADINA (Spain), KiKa (The Netherlands), LILT (Italy), Odyssea (France), and others.
“At Henry Schein, we strongly believe in the potential of public-private partnerships to contribute to a healthier world, and the Henry Schein Cares Practice Pink programme exemplifies this belief,” said Maureen Knott, Vice President U.S. Supplier Initiatives, Henry Schein and President, Henry Schein Cares Foundation. “Through the combined dedication and generosity of our supplier partners and customers, we will persist in our commitment to advancing cancer research and prevention, all while striving together for a world where cancer is no longer a threat.”
Henry Schein UK participates and provides underserved children with backpacks, school supplies, and more back-to-school essentials
For the 26th consecutive year, Henry Schein is helping children around the world start the academic year off right through its “Back to School” programme. This programme stands as a flagship initiative of Henry Schein Cares, the Company’s global corporate social responsibility programme, and is driven by Henry Schein’s Team Schein Engagement team. Team Schein Members at 32 locations in the U.S., Canada, Spain, Italy, U.K., and Ireland, are providing nearly 5,000 students with backpacks filled with school supplies and hygiene essentials. Since the programme’s inception in 1998, the Company has helped more than 65,000 children return to the classroom equipped with necessities for a successful school year.
On August 17, Henry Schein held its first in-person “Back to School” event at its worldwide headquarters in Melville, N.Y. since 2019. Approximately 400 pre-identified children and their families received backpacks, school supplies, and gift cards to purchase their choice of first-day-of-school outfits. The event also included a BBQ, games, music, crafts, and other activities, including an interactive science presentation. Additionally, the event featured a tent with free books donated by Team Schein Members and KPMG LLP – the U.S. audit, tax, and advisory firm – through its Family for Literacy programme and partnership with nonprofit social enterprise First Book. One of several “Back to School” events being held around the world, the fun-filled evening provided participating children and families with an uplifting experience to kick off a successful school year.
“Over the past two and a half decades, Team Schein’s dedication to the ‘Back to School’ programme has only grown stronger,” said Stanley M. Bergman, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Henry Schein. “By investing in the educational journey of these exceptional children, we are strengthening the future of our communities. The resilience and potential these students possess inspires Henry Schein to continue doing our part to ensure children within our communities have equal opportunities to thrive.”
Back to School in the UK
For this year’s programme, Henry Schein UK collaborated with three schools, providing 75 backpacks full of useful supplies to help the children most in need go back to school with renewed enthusiasm. The three schools supported by Team Schein were Bradfields Academy in Gillingham, Baden Powell Primary School in Cardiff and Springwell Leeds Academy East in Ilkley.
Bradfields Academy aims to be a leading centre of excellence in the Special Education Sector where students can thrive and fully develop their cognitive, social and emotional skills in order to take a full, active and responsible role in their local community and beyond as Global Citizens and Ambassadors for students with disabilities.*
“A huge thank you to Henry Schein for the gift of 25 filled rucksacks for a selection of our students. The comments made by the students showed how unexpected and delighted they were with the gifts, and the smiles on their faces relayed their happiness,” said Mrs Knott, Assistant Principal at Bradfields Academy. “Parents have also commented on the joy the students had at receiving them and showing them the contents when they got home. The stationery and items inside will allow students the chance to be creative and develop their literacy skills in their own time.”
Baden Powell School at Cardiff is a fully inclusive and culturally diverse school. The 25 pupils who received the support of Team Schein this year “were so happy and were overjoyed when they opened up the bag to see all the equipment,” said Rachel Letman, Acting Deputy headteacher at the school.
Springwell Leeds is a specialist academy with the aim to provide the best possible care and education that we can for children and young people with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs between the ages of 5 and 16.
“Our Back to School programme at Henry Schein embodies our values of solidarity and commitment to those who are most in need. We are proud to have partnered this year with these three devoted educational institutions to provide students with school supplies to help them return to class with joy” said Vikki Goodall, Vice President and Managing Director UK & Ireland.

“We are honored to receive these awards, which reflect our commitment to sustainability and building a culture that recognizes and values diversity and inclusion,” said Mr. Bergman. “Our success is a testament to the dedication of our Team Schein Members and our unwavering commitment to champion diversity and a belief in the power of doing well by doing good.”
Additionally, Henry Schein earned honorable mentions in the following categories:
“Employee Resource Groups” Program: Henry Schein’s Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) program was recognized with an honorable mention. These employee-led networks promote diversity and inclusivity in alignment with corporate values. The six ERGs—Women’s Leadership Network, Pride and Allies, Black Legacy Professionals, COLEGAS, elevAsian, and the Veteran Engagement Team—aim to build inclusive communities, provide visibility, amplify employee voices, educate allies, foster innovation, and promote diverse viewpoints. Henry Schein will be adding its seventh ERG focused on the disabilities community this year.
“Diversity and Inclusion Training/Education”: Henry Schein also earned an honorable mention for its commitment to diversity and inclusion training and education. Henry Schein offers in-house designed and facilitated diversity and inclusion education programs for Team Schein Members, including Global Directors and Vice Presidents. The Company also extends these programs to external audiences through professional associations and conferences. In 2022, participation rates were impressive, with 98% of Global Directors and Vice Presidents attending, 25% of more than 23,000 Team Schein Members taking part, and 74% of attendees recommending the program to other colleagues.
Henry Schein’s dedication to diversity and inclusion has garnered recognition from various organizations, including the HRC’s Best Places to Work for LGBTQ+ Equality and the Women’s Choice Award.
On 9 September 2023, Team Schein Members from Henry Schein Dental, Henry Schein Medical, Optident, BioHorizons Camlog, and the Henry Schein One brands Software of Excellence and Dentally, came together for a charitable outdoor challenge. Their mission was to raise £7,000 in support of health charities.
In the challenge, 25 team members completed a 24-mile walk round trip that included 1,585 meters of ascent. The three peaks are Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside, and Ingleborough.
The Team Schein Members raised funds for three dedicated charities: Mind, which provides advice and support to anyone experiencing mental health problems, Dementia UK, a charity that helps the families of people suffering from dementia, and Naomi House & Jacksplace, a children’s hospice that provides care for children and young people with life-limiting conditions. These charities have had a significant impact on many of those who walked the three peaks and have relentlessly supported many other Team Schein Members and families affected by mental diseases in the country.
“Overcoming this great challenge wasn’t easy, but we knew we were doing it for great causes,” said James Salter, Corporate Social Responsibility Co-Chair, Henry Schein UK. “We are deeply thankful to everyone who contributed to our fundraising page. Those contributions will make a difference to the lives of many people affected by mental health issues and children with life-threatening and life-limiting conditions.”
The Yorkshire Three Peak Challenge initiative is part of Henry Schein Cares, the company’s global corporate social responsibility programme. It stands on five pillars: empowering Team Schein to reach their potential, advancing health equity and expanding access to care for underserved communities, accelerating environmental sustainability, strengthening, and diversifying our supply chain, and maintaining strong ethical governance. Health care activities supported by Henry Schein Cares focus on four main areas: wellness, treatment, prevention, and education; capacity building; emergency preparedness and disaster response; and health system strengthening.

The company will showcase its comprehensive portfolio of biomaterials and implant systems and will offer workshops on bone regeneration and open-healing concepts in modern implant dentistry.
BioHorizons Camlog will participate in the European Association for Osseointegration (EAO) 2023 Congress, held in Berlin from September 28 to 30, 2023. According to EAO, more than 5,000 visitors from all over the world are expected at this year’s event. For the first time, it will also be possible to attend EAO programmes online, whereby all participants will be actively involved in the broadcasts and discussions.
At the BioHorizons Camlog stand H09, participants can discover the company’s broad portfolio of innovative and holistic regenerative solutions in biomaterials and implant systems. BioHorizons Camlog has established itself as one of the leading suppliers of premium dental implant systems, restorative components, a comprehensive line of biologics products and digital solutions which helps dentists to provide patients with the optimum treatment.
BioHorizons Camlog will also host two workshops at EAO.
On Friday, September 29, 2023, Prof. Daniel Rothamel (Germany) will speak on allogeneic bone substitute materials for bone regeneration in his workshop. He will demonstrate fundamentals and techniques of hard tissue augmentation with allografts based on patient cases and hands-on exercises. The practical exercises on the model include the application of allogeneic materials in particulate form, block augmentation, and the shell technique.
Later that day, Dr. Robert Oretti (United Kingdom) will present the concept of open healing and demonstrate options for its application in modern implant dentistry. In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn to choose between the different treatment options, focusing on the steps to achieve passive closure over the bone graft without compromising the muco-gingival line.
Between the two workshops, Prof. Rothamel and Dr. Oretti will provide insight into allogeneic bone substitute materials in an industry forum, as there is growing evidence that allogeneic grafts may be a safe alternative to autologous grafts in implant therapy. In this forum, they will be presenting new data and therapeutic concepts on allografts, indicating the potential clinical relevance of these materials in implant dentistry.
