Our Henry Schein mission is “To provide innovative, integrated healthcare products and services; and to be trusted advisors and consultants to our customers – enabling them to deliver the best quality patient care and enhance their practice management efficiency and profitability”

Over 75 years ago, a young pharmacist with irrepressible entrepreneurial spirit, borrowed $500 and opened a pharmacy in Queens, New York. The young man was Henry Schein.

Henry Schein and his wife, Esther, grew their small pharmacy into a thriving enterprise based on the belief that affordable, high-quality merchandise and excellent customer service were the building blocks of a successful business.

With more than 19,000 Team Schein Members and operations or affiliates in 31 countries, Henry Schein, Inc. remains committed to the values-based culture that Henry and his wife, Esther, infused in their business eight decades ago, and to serving our customers, supplier partners, investors, society and Team Schein. By holding fast to our historical values and focusing on our future, we are certain that our best years are yet to come.

Today, Henry Schein, Inc. has grown from that small storefront pharmacy into a FORTUNE 500® company, which is recognised for its excellent customer service and highly competitive prices.  The Company’s four business groups - Dental, Medical, International and Technology - serve more than 500,000 customers worldwide, including dental practitioners and laboratories, physician practices and animal health clinics, as well as government and other institutions. 

The Company operates through a centralised and automated distribution network, which provides customers in more than 200 countries with a comprehensive selection of more than 85,000 national and Henry Schein private-brand products in stock, as well as more than 100,000 additional products available as special-order items.

Henry Schein also offers a wide range of innovative value-added practice solutions for healthcare professionals, such as ArubA(R), the Company's electronic catalogue and ordering system.  Its leading practice-management software solutions have been installed in more than 50,000 practices, including DENTRIX(R) and Easy Dental(R) for dental practices, MicroMD(R) for physician practices, and AVImark(R) for animal health clinics.
