Henry Schein Provides Health Care Products for Relief After Flooding in Pakistan

Company establishes matching relief fund for Pakistan through Henry Schein Cares Foundation

MELVILLE, New York, August 31, 2010 - Henry Schein, Inc. (Nasdaq: HSIC), the largest provider of health care
products and services to office-based practitioners, is working with its non-
governmental organization (NGO) partners - Direct Relief, International
Medical Corps, Americares, and Heart to Heart - to deliver essential health
care supplies to victims of the devastating floods in Pakistan, which left
more than a thousand dead, an estimated four million homeless, and more than
15 million people affected.

The disaster response effort is part of Henry Schein Cares, the Company's
global social responsibility program. To aid in the immediate response to
emergencies around the world, Henry Schein Cares partners with international
relief organizations and ensures that these organizations consistently have
Henry Schein health care products in their warehouses ready to go when
disasters strike.

"Coordination of relief efforts to areas affected by disaster is
essential, and we applaud the work of our NGO partners that are working with
local organizations on the ground in Pakistan where health care facilities
were destroyed, and ensuring that donated health care supplies are being used
effectively and efficiently," said Stanley M. Bergman, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of Henry Schein. "Henry Schein's work to help the people of
Pakistan is part of our ongoing commitment to give back to society, which has
marked our Company for nearly eight decades. As we have grown into a
multinational corporation, the scope of this responsibility has grown
proportionately."

To enable Team Schein Members and others outside of the Company to
support relief efforts in a coordinated way, the Company also has established
a Pakistan Flood Relief Fund through the Henry Schein Cares Foundation, a
501(c)(3) organization. Henry Schein will match all donations contributed to
this fund by Team Schein Members, and the proceeds will be applied directly
and completely to relief efforts. Anyone wishing to contribute to this fund
should make the check payable to "Henry Schein Cares Foundation" with
"Pakistan Flood Relief Fund" noted in the memo of the check, and send it to
Alan Cohen at Henry Schein, Inc., 135 Duryea Road, Melville, NY 11747.
Donations to the Henry Schein Cares Foundation are tax deductible in the
United States.

Henry Schein Cares "helps health happen" by expanding access to care to
at-risk populations through the support of communities and not-for-profit
organizations dedicated to increasing preventative care, treatment, and the
delivery of health education. In addition to enhancing emergency preparedness
and relief, activities supported by Henry Schein Cares focus on advancing
wellness and building capacity in the delivery of health care services. Henry
Schein Cares' Global Product Donation program also provides a broad selection
of health care products and supplies to approximately 100 community medical,
dental, and animal health organizations in the United States.
