MELVILLE, N.Y.—Henry Schein has entered into a new partnership agreement with the International College of Dentists (ICD) to become the exclusive partner for the organization's centennial anniversary.

ICD, which has been "honoring the world's leading dentists" since 1920, will organize a series of special events under the theme "Celebrating the First 100 Years." The events will take place throughout 2020, leading up to a gala celebration during the ICD 2020 International Council meeting on November 13, 2020, in Nagoya, Japan. 

Through Henry Schein Cares, the company's global corporate social responsibility program, Henry Schein will partner with ICD to recognize the contributions of its members and extend the global reach of both organizations to carry out and administer educational, training and humanitarian initiatives.

The new agreement also extends Henry Schein's four-year commitment to ICD's Global Visionary Fund (GVF), a 501(c)(3) charitable fund created in 2013 to improve the oral health of the public and enhance the profession of dentistry. With support from Henry Schein Cares, GVF provides financial assistance to ICD fellows and other volunteers doing charitable work, focusing its support on humanitarian dental care projects and continuing dental education initiatives. GVF emphasizes projects that demonstrate the possibility of creating sustainable improvement in oral health around the world.

"We are pleased to join with the International College of Dentists to remember its past, celebrate its future, and honor the professional achievements, service, and dedication of all college members and fellows," said Stanley M. Bergman, chairman of the board and chief executive officer of Henry Schein. "Over the past 10 years, the relationship between ICD and Team Schein has grown ever stronger. Together, we recognize the important link between oral health and overall health and share a commitment to expanding access to health care for underserved communities around the world. We salute the International Council and its International Officers and Councilors who represent ICD's sections and regions for possessing the vision and leadership that was exhibited by its founders a century ago."

Founded in 1920 by Drs. Louis Ottofy and Tsurukichi Okumura, the ICD reflects the shared vision to recognize dentists who excel in professional collegiality and friendship while also advancing the progress of dentistry worldwide. Today, the ICD has more than 12,000 fellows in 122 affiliated countries.

"This will be a remarkable global effort on the part of both the leadership of the college and our fellows who will work together for an amazing year of celebration, camaraderie, and fellowship," said Dr. Dov Sydney, centennial general chair and ICD's international editor and director of communications. "We thank Henry Schein for its ongoing partnership, which is especially gratifying as we share a mutual commitment to contribute to the advancement of the profession of dentistry by fostering the growth and diffusion of dental knowledge worldwide."
