Henry Schein Signs Global Partnership Agreement With ICD
Henry Schein has entered into a new partnership agreement with the International
College of Dentists (ICD) to become the exclusive partner for the organization's centennial
anniversary.
Founded in 1920 by Drs. Louis Ottofy and Tsurukichi Okumura, the ICD is defined as an
honor society dedicated to the recognition of outstanding professional achievement and
meritorious service and the continued progress of dentistry for the benefit of all humankind.
Today, the ICD has more than 12,000 fellows in 122 affiliated countries.
The organization will organize a series of special events under the theme "Celebrating the
First 100 Years." The events will take place throughout 2020, leading up to a gala celebration
during the ICD 2020 international council meeting on November 13, 2020, in Nagoya, Japan.
Through Henry Schein Cares, the company's global corporate social responsibility program,
Henry Schein will partner with ICD to recognize the contributions of its members and extend
the global reach of both organizations to carry out and administer educational, training and
humanitarian initiatives.
