September 30, 2024 – Henry Schein announced that more than 2,300 Team Schein Members from around the world have joined together to build nearly 23,000 hygiene kits for families with children facing serious medical illnesses. TSMs built the kits as part of the Company’s fourth “We Care Global Challenge,” an initiative that aims to bring colleagues together under the shared mission of “helping health happen” for people and communities in need.
Intended to help provide hope, comfort, and care, the kits will be distributed to Ronald McDonald House Charities globally, in partnership with Heart to Heart International. Each kit contains personal hygiene and comfort items, including mouth rinse, toothpaste, floss picks, hand sanitizer, lotion, and more.
TSMs in the U.S., Australia, Canada, China, Ireland, and the UK assembled the kits at national sales meetings, local Company offices, and distribution centers.
Since Henry Schein’s inaugural We Care Global Challenge in 2018, the Company has partnered with Heart to Heart International under the shared mission of improving access to health care throughout the world.
The We Care Global Challenge is an initiative of Henry Schein Cares, the Company’s global corporate citizenship program. Team Schein has built nearly 93,000 kits since the program’s inception, benefitting organizations including Save the Children, the German Breast Cancer Society, the Canadian Cancer Society, the Australia-based McGrath Foundation, and the American Cancer Society. More than 6,000 TSMs have participated in We Care Global Challenge events.
