Henry Schein is Primary Donor to the Solidarity

Clinic of Zerca y Lejos in Madrid


Madrid, April 25, 2017 - Henry Schein Spain, through its global Corporate Social
Responsibility program Henry Schein Cares, has partnered with the non-governmental
organization for development Zerca y Lejos y Culturas Unidas of the district of Embajadores -
Lavapis.

With the main premise of giving access to oral health to the most disadvantaged, Henry
Schein Cares has participated very actively in making this project a reality, with the donation
of the necessary equipment, supplies and facilities to provide quality basic care to those who
do not have the necessary resources to take care of their oral health.

Henry Schein's commitment to Zerca and Lejos comes a long way, since for more than eight
years the Company has been present in the different projects of this NGO, not just in Spain,
but throughout the oral health care campaign that is currently being provided in Cameroon to
its most disadvantaged and vulnerable population.

"Supporting this population group at risk of exclusion of dental health, and collaborating to
encourage healthy habits of hygiene to promote preventive medicine also in kids is a great
achievement for the team," says Juan M. Molina, Managing Director of Henry Schein for
Spain and Portugal.

David Gonzlez Alarcn, general coordinator of strategic alliances of Zerca y Lejos, said,
"The relationship that time has given us with the company Henry Schein is a human
relationship, where the human is put first in a determinant way, always being at our side. We
thank you for so many years of collaboration and effort and without it, this clinic would not
have been possible."

With the aim of reducing the oral disease rates of residents at risk of exclusion in this area,
more than 200 families have been added to the project, which can mean that more than
2,000 people benefit from the care of this clinic directly and indirectly.
