By Premier Dental Staff n Premier Dental Products has been a supporter of the ADA Foundation’s Give Kids a Smile (GKAS) program since its inception in 2003, and this year’s donation of 220,000 applica- tions of Enamel Pro® Varnish and other dental products brings the total value of Premier’s donations over the years to the program to more than $2 million. This year, 300,000 underserved children will receive free oral-health screenings, education and treatment at 1,500 locations across the country throughGKAS.Carewillbedelivered by more than 40,000 dental team vol- unteers, including more than 10,000 dentists. Premier has worked closely with Henry Schein, GKAS’s official profes- sional products sponsor, since the program’s launch to ensure these vol- unteer oral health professionals have the products they need to expand access to oral health care for children in the United States. “This milestone underscores Pre- mier’s commitment to supporting the volunteer oral health professionals whogivesomuchoftheirtimeandtal- ent to delivering quality oral health to underserved children as part of the Give Kids A Smile program,” said Julie Charlestein, president of Premier Dental Products. “We are proud to partner with the ADA Foun- dation and Henry Schein, and we look forward to continuing to support this incredible program.” “Thank you to Premier for your steadfast support of the Give Kids A Smile program since the very begin- ning, and for sharing Henry Schein’s commitment to expanding access to care for those in need,” said Stanley M. Bergman, chairman of the board and chief executive officer of Henry Schein, Inc. “This program’s success relies largely on the generosity of our supplier partners, and together we are ‘helping health happen’ for the next generation.” Since the program’s inception, Henry Schein — one of the world’s largest providers of health care prod- ucts and services to office-based den- tal, animal health and medical prac- titioners — together with its supplier partners has donated more than $14 million in oral health-care products used to provide free oral health serv- ices for more than 5 million children. “With support from Premier, Henry Schein and our other partners in the private industry, the Give Kids a Smile Program does more than provide screenings and education,” said Dr. Reneida Reyes, president of the ADAF. “It sets these children on the path to a lifetime of good overall health.” exhibitors 36 Chicago Midwinter — February 26, 2016 Premier hits $2 million mark in donations in support of GKAS program Ad 5 Attendees gather around the Premier booth, No. 3800, on Thursday at the Chicago Midwinter Meeting.
