Donates Dental Chairs to Eastman Institute for Oral Health UR Medicine’s Eastman Institute for Oral Health has received a donation from Henry Schein Inc., a worldwide distributor of dental and medical supplies, together with its partner Adec, a patient treatment equipment company. The 10 Adec dental chairs with unit lights and accessories will help equip new space Eastman Institute is making available to continue serving the increasing need of emergency and routine dental treatment for patients in underserved communities in the Rochester community and outlying areas. As one of the few dental providers that stayed open for emergencies during the shutdown, Eastman Institute for Oral Health continues to treat a larger than usual volume of emergency patients. But social distancing protocols and other pandemic-related challenges limit the number of patients EIOH providers are able to see, resulting in growing waiting lists for necessary treatments and procedures, as well as routine care.
“Recognizing that the Eastman Institute for Oral Health provides dental care to the largest underserved population in upstate New York, Henry Schein is pleased to ensure students have access to best-in-class dental solutions for their hands-on, clinical education, helping them deliver optimal care to those in their communities who are most in need,” said Jennifer Kim Field, vice president for Henry Schein’s Corporate Social Responsibility and executive director, Henry Schein Cares Foundation. “Our company is committed to fostering the training and development of our future leaders in dentistry, offering the latest solutions they can rely on to deliver superior patient care.” ♦
“We’re very grateful for Henry Schein and Adec’s generous support,” said EIOH Director Eli Eliav, DMD, PhD. “Their donation will help ensure optimal care is provided to all our patients in a timelier fashion, as well as maintain the quality training our residents have come to expect.”
