Henry Schein helps at Tiglin
Henry Schein has helped Dr Johnny Fearon from the Ashgrove Dental Clinic in Naas to set up a dental clinic at Tiglin, a residential treatment centre for people with addiction problems. “When I heard from Dr Fearon about the great work that is carried out by the Ashgrove Dental Clinic, I immediately knew that this was a great project in support of the Henry Schein Cares mission”, said Pat Bolger, Managing Director of Henry Schein Ireland. With the help of Henry Schein’s supplier partners, Coltene, Dürr Dental UK, Hu-Friedy and Septodont, the dental surgery was equipped with a dental patient chair, an autoclave, Vistascan digital imaging system, suction motor and healthcare consumables. All equipment was installed by Henry Schein staff, who volunteered their time and expertise. The clinic was officially opened on September 9 by Minister for Health, Simon Harris TD. This activity is part of Henry Schein Cares, the company’s global corporate social responsibility programme. In attendance from Henry Schein on the day were Pat Bolger, Siobhan Cleary and John Rice.
