Henry Schein to help Japan earthquake victims

Henry Schein has established the Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Relief Fund in response to the tragic earthquake and tsunami that hit Northern Japan on March 11.

"Along with the rest of the world, we are deeply saddened by the loss of life and devastation caused by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, and hope for a good outcome for the missing people and those dislocated by this terrible tragedy, " said Stanley Bergman, chairman and CEO of Henry Schein, in a press release. "In addition to our efforts through the Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Relief Fund, Henry Schein Cares is working closely with our partner nongovernment organizations to seek opportunities to support humanitarian relief efforts."
