Henry Schein Medical, the U.S. medical business of Henry Schein, Inc. (Nasdaq: HSIC), recently hosted its 2023 East and West Area Sales Meetings, bringing together more than 1,200 attendees, including Team Schein Members (TSMs) and supplier partners who exhibited their products and solutions to the sales team. The theme of this year’s meetings was “Connected: The Human Touch in a Digital World.”
Held at the Marriott in New Orleans and Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, the Area Sales Meetings featured presentations from Henry Schein Medical’s leadership team, with presentations on the benefits and importance of the human touch, both in business and society, to build and strengthen relationships. Additionally, presentations encouraged Team Schein to advance the Company’s 2022-2024 BOLD+1 Strategic Plan.
“It was exciting to be back together again for our Area Sales Meetings, which emphasized the importance of face-to-face interaction,” said Ty Ford, Vice President and General Manager of U.S. Medical Sales. “While we can transact business virtually, being in person builds bonds of trust, and the Area Sales Meetings were the perfect example of the power of teamwork and togetherness.”
The importance of culture, working as a team, and managing change was reinforced by motivational and inspiring keynote speakers, including management leaders who addressed Henry Schein Medical’s upcoming breakthrough technologies and innovations to improve service and support, as well as top sales representatives who were recognized during the Meeting’s annual Awards Ceremony. This year’s awards recognized 2022’s top Team Schein Members, supplier partners, and products.
Henry Schein Medical TSMs also participated in the We Care Global Challenge, a company-wide initiative in which TSMs at 14 Company locations in six countries assemble comfort kits for people fighting cancer around the world. At the Medical Area Sales Meetings, more than 5,000 kits were assembled to support the American Cancer Society’s Hope Lodge program. These kits will be distributed to Hope Lodge locations throughout the U.S. Each Hope Lodge offers cancer patients and their caregivers a free place to stay when their best hope for effective treatment may be in another city. Henry Schein Cares partnered with Heart to Heart International to handle the logistics of the We Care Global Challenge kit building events, including the management of all shipments of the completed kits. This event embodies the Foundation’s mission to “help health happen” for people living in underserved, at-risk, and remote communities.
