Henry Schein Cares Program Provides Vital Dental Supplies

Henry Schein Cares

The CDA Foundation recognizes that the need for dental supplies and materials is crucial to providing access to care for all Californians, particularly in underserved and culturally diverse communities. The CDA Foundation’s partnership of over five years with Henry Schein, Inc., addresses this issue through the Dental Materials and Supplies Grant Program. 

The Dental Materials and Supplies Grant Program works in concert with the Henry Schein Cares Program to provide a broad selection of dental products and materials to help non-profit organizations and clinics enhance the quality of dental care of underserved individuals and families in local California communities.  Selected organizations receive between $5,000 - $25,000 of goods per year for two years, while the only cost to the recipient organizations is the shipping cost of the goods.

This unique program blends Henry Schein’s commitment to giving back to the industry and community in which they serve with the mission of the CDA Foundation to improve the oral health of all Californians by supporting the dental profession and its efforts to meet community needs.
