Henry Schein works in tandem with the National Network for Oral Health Access to expand access to oral health care and provide dental technologies and products to those in need.
The 2023 National Network for Oral Health Access (NNOHA) Annual Conference hosted a variety of patient-focused solutions, with a plethora of resources contributed from Henry Schein. This event, which took place November 5 though November 8, 2023 in Denver, Colorado, is specifically designed to provide insight and resources on how to provide better patient care, according to a press release from Henry Schein. Henry Schein Director, Community Health Centers and Corporate Relations, Kathleen Titus, expressed the value of NNOHA’s relationship with Henry Schein.
“NNOHA and Henry Schein have a shared value of helping communities increase access to oral health care, and we are pleased to yet again participate in its annual conference,” Titus says in the press release. “We are dedicated to helping [community health centers] continue to elevate and expand care throughout communities in the United States. As the paramount national voice for 6 million health center dental patients in the country, NNOHA is validating that a healthy smile is a fundamental right, not a privilege.”
Henry Schein had a variety of offerings to showcase, including 3Shape TRIOS 5, DEXIS™ IS 3800 Wireless, Medit i700, and Planmeca Emerald™ S. Alongside these digital dental options, practice management software Dentrix Enterprise also got a showcase, demonstrating the software’s capabilities in data sharing for public health dentistry reports, per the press release.
Henry Schein says they are a staunch provider of resources, training, donations, and more to NNOHA, evidenced by their contributions to the organization for 20 years now, per the press release.
In addition, Henry Schein’s corporate social responsibility program, Henry Schein Cares, took to the event with an oral hygiene kit packing event on November 6, 2023, wherein attendees and members came together to put together 2000 kits. These kits contained oral care products like toothbrushes and toothpaste, to provide the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless, with the necessary products to ensure underserved populations receive the care they need. The Colorado Coalition for the Homeless also provides underserved families with housing, health care, substance use treatment, jobs, and childcare, according to the press release.
