+ Frequently Asked Questions

What Is the Henry Schein Cares Package?

The Henry Schein Cares Package is a series of six kits geared toward health care professionals to Help Health Happen. The six packages are categorized as:

Education Adult
Education Child
Screening & Prevention Dental
Screening & Prevention Medical
Medical Diagnostic Equipment
Dental Restorative

We worked with subject matter experts (SMEs) across the health care profession to create the list of materials included in each package.

Who can be treated with or benefit from donated products?

All products donated by Henry Schein Cares must be used only for indigent patients and must be distributed free of charge. These products may not be resold and no fee (not even a nominal fee) will be charged to the patient for the in-kind donated products or services utilizing the in-kind products where the product cost would be a component of such fee.

Can you ship my donation to a location outside of the U.S.?

No. We only are able to ship within the United States. If you are taking the product out of the United States, you are responsible for the importation and distribution, including, but not limited to, obtaining any required product registrations or licenses (as may be applicable), or exemption letter from in-country Ministry of Health, of the donated in-kind products in accordance with applicable law.

How do I comply with all U.S. government regulations pertaining to the export of goods and services?

It is your responsibility to ensure that products donated by Henry Schein Cares will be exported from the United States in strict compliance with all relevant U.S. laws and regulations, including but not limited to, obtaining and providing any necessary export licenses for countries that require them and ensuring that no product will knowingly be provided to any sanctioned, denied party, individual or entity that commits, attempts to commit, advocates, facilitates, or participates in terrorist acts. When we process your shipment, we will provide you with a manifest, listing the donated products and a letter stating that they have been donated for charitable use only. If products are confiscated by the airline or customs, please notify us as soon as possible.

What should I do with products not used up during the project?

Any excess donated products remaining at the end of your project should be distributed to local health care facilities with qualified health care personnel. Products should be distributed to patients prior to expiration; expired products should not be distributed and should be properly destroyed. No products should be sold or exchanged.

I've received a prior donation from Henry Schein Cares. Do I need to apply again?

Yes. Because our donations are project-specific, we need a new application for each request. Our online application includes a login/password feature that will allow you to save your basic profile information.
