Their belief paid off far beyond what Henry and Esther might have dared to imagine in 1932. Henry Schein is now a Fortune 500 Company powered by a network of people and technology to be the world’s leading provider of health care products, services and solutions to office-based dental and medical practitioners. Since our founding we have stayed true to Henry and Esther’s values which has allowed us to evolve, expand, and grow our Company.
