Pat Bauer, President and CEO of Heartland Dental, expresses his pride in the remarkable commitment shown by the doctors and team members involved in this event. Their collective efforts not only improve individual lives but also foster a sense of community well-being. The success of this year’s Free Dentistry Day is further amplified by the generous contributions from industry partners like Henry Schein Cares, Leixir Dental Group, Envista, and Colgate, who supply necessary materials and resources that facilitate patient care. This collaboration highlights the importance of industry partnerships in breaking down barriers to dental care, a sentiment echoed by Stanley M. Bergman, CEO of Henry Schein.
