Henry Schein, Inc. (Nasdaq NM: HSIC), the largest provider of healthcare products and services to office-based practitioners in the combined North American and European markets, has introduced a Demographic Site Analysis Reporting (DSAR) tool that will provide valuable information to practitioners about their practice locations.
