of those years the Company has led
our industry in social responsibility. In
2006, we were designated as one of
only 12 “turbocharged” companies on
FORBES Platinum list based on our
multi-year double-digit growth in sales
and earnings per share. Henry Schein
is now included in NASDAQ’s highest
listing tier–the NASDAQ Global Select
Market. And in 2006, we were pleased
to celebrate 15 years of operations
in the United Kingdom, Spain and
the Netherlands.
The year was marked by further
expansion of Henry Schein Cares™,
our global social responsibility
program that is “helping health
happen.” The activities we supported
during 2006 helped enhance
healthcare advocacy and education;
increase access to care among
underserved populations; strengthen
community wellness programs; and
prepare for and respond to disasters.
These initiatives ranged from high-
profile access to care programs (such
as Give Kids A Smile and Healthy
Children, Healthy Lifestyles) to
community-based initiatives (such as
the Back to School program in the
United States and Canada, and Crisis at
Christmas in the United Kingdom),
and from product support for
healthcare missions to Africa to
humanitarian relief around the world
(through Medshare International,
Direct Relief International and the
International Medical Corps).
Focused On Our Future
In addition to these many activities,
we looked forward during the year
as we started our 2007-2009 strategic
plan. We reaffirmed our commitment
to provide our customers with
a consistently superior experience
through innovative solutions to
practice issues enabling the best
quality patient care, and practice
efficiency and success. To achieve
this, we will share best practices and
services across borders and functions;
we will remain a technology leader
and consistently deliver superior
integrated solutions to meet our
customers’ practice needs; we will
become trusted advisors to the more
than 500,000 customers we serve
