January 5, 2023 – When Henry and Esther Schein founded Henry Schein in 1932, they imbued the organization with an entrepreneurial spirit that would lead the company through the next 90 years – and then some. “The Company’s unique ability to listen to our customers and understand where health care is headed has allowed us to make [critical] pivots and successfully manage the changing environment in which we operate,” says Michael Ettinger, executive vice president and chief operating officer. “As we enter our 10th decade serving the health care industry, we remain confident that we are well positioned to help our customers run efficient practices so they can provide quality care more effectively.”
