behind the SCeneS Q: What was the mission of your Ebola Awareness Project? A: Henry Schein is committed to “helping health happen” by engaging in activities through our global corporate social responsibility program, Henry Schein Cares. With a focus on wellness, prevention and treatment; emergency preparedness and relief; and building capacity in the training of professionals and the delivery of health care services, we believed that participating in Ebola virus relief efforts was consistent with Henry Schein’s mission to expand access to care for those in need. In order to make an impact, Henry Schein worked within a public-private model, leveraging the unique skills and networks of our partners (government, NGOs and industry) to assess the need and provide products to health care workers providing on-site relief. Together with our valued supplier partners, we donated $1 million in essential health care sup- plies and opened the Ebola Relief Fund through the Henry Schein Cares Foundation; demonstrated the company’s commitment to the well-being of health care providers and others assisting in relief efforts; reinforced our value to key supplier partners; offered a vehicle for Team Schein Members to engage in relief efforts; strengthened relationships with important government organizations; and increased visibility for Henry Schein’s expertise in convening key stake- holders in effective public-private partnerships by identifying mean- ingful ways for their engagement in relief efforts.
We a re wel l - positioned to help fll the need for pro- tective equipment, particularly with gloves, masks and gowns, reinforc- ing Henry Schein’s c o m m i t m e n t t o the well-being of healthcare providers and further strengthening our brand as a good corporate citizen.
At Henry Schein, we are very proud of the opportunity to use our core expertise as the world’s largest distributor of health care products to offce-based dentists, veterinarians and physi- cians to help society when crisis strikes. Working closely with our NGO partners to assess the list of products mostly needed, and then pulling this product together for donation with our valued, very generous supplier partners is very reward- ing. I am also very proud of Team Schein for their generous contributions to our Relief Fund and for serving as role models in the health care industry.
The enormity of the Ebola crisis was very sur- prising and alarming. With 10,000 people affected and nearly 5,000 lost lives, we knew we needed to move fast to offer assistance in the relief efforts.
Henry Schein recognizes that it is our respon- sibility to use our core expertise not only to help our customers succeed, but also for the good of society. There is no competition when dealing with a disaster. We believe it is incumbent upon private industry to do our part by partnering with credible organizations providing on-site disaster relief, governments providing oversight, and busi- ness partners seeking opportunities to help. We strongly believe that “Together, We Can Help Health Happen,” and this is especially critical in times of disaster.
From the very start of my career at Henry Schein 25 years ago, it was clear to me that the company had a unique culture: A culture of helping each other and a commitment to giving back to society. As president of the Henry Schein Cares Foundation and co-founder of Henry Schein Cares nearly 20 years ago, I take pride in how much the program has evolved; how much my colleagues and industry partners have accomplished, and how strong Team Schein’s commitment is. I’ve been very fortunate to work for a company and a Chairman and CEO who have a passion for social responsibility and helping people, which has been a guiding force for me through the years.
Henry Schein Dental Steve Kess Ebola Awareness Project About three years ago, Dr. Allan Deutsch decided it was time to create ultrasonic tips that were actually diffcult to break. While there were plenty of ultrasonic tip options on the market, all of them were too thin and broke far too easily, said Dr. Deutsch, the Executive Vice President for Essential Dental Systems. He knew the team at EDS could create a stronger, inexpen- sive option that offered superior cutting abilities— without the breakage. “We wanted something that broke far less often and that was inexpensive to produce and manu- facture, so we could sell the tips at a lower price point,” Dr. Deutsch said. “We were able to achieve both those goals.” Dr. Deutsch, who is co-founder of the company, was involved in just about every aspect of product development, he said. He spent t i m e lo ok i n g up l it e r at u r e and research, was involved in designing the tips and worked with the pro - totype shop to develop the tips. T h e t e a m faced many chal- lenges along the way, he said, but they were able to work together to overcome them all. What were some of those challenges? They had to fnd a way to create long-lasting tips that also offer optimal cutting abilities, no matter which of the many ultrasonic units a dentist might use. “It was just a lot of trial and error,” Dr. Deutsch said. “We tried this design and tried that design. We tried different metals. It was the old Thomas Edison approach where you try 10,000 variations and one finally works. That’s why it took three years. It was just a lot of hard work.” And those efforts paid off. Since the tips were released in February, they’ve received a lot of posi- tive feedback. Dentists seem to love the tips, Dr. Deutsch said, and are happy to fnally have ultra- sonic tips that not only cut well, but that also are pretty diffcult to break. As one of the co-founders, Dr. Deutsch has been with the company 30 years, and in that time has been behind several product launches. He loves being part of the R&D process, and creating prod- ucts that help make dentists more effcient, while also saving them money. “It’s a nice creative outlet for me,” he said. “I like the science aspect of it, the research. It lets me do a lot of different things and wear a lot of different hats. While dentistry is never boring, working on product development offers a nice change of pace.”
