Henry Schein (Nasdaq: HSIC), one of the world’s largest providers of health care solutions to office-based dental and medical practitioners, recently cut the ribbon on its new Dallas Discovery Center in Southlake.
The 8,300-square-foot, state-of-the-art training facility is designed to bring health care education, technology, and innovation together under one roof. Located at 1080 S. Kimball Ave. in Southlake, the center marks Henry Schein’s first integrated dental and medical training facility, reinforcing the company’s commitment to advancing “integrated, systemic models of health care delivery.”
‘Tech-forward’ facility offers immersive learning environments
The new facility is located just minutes from Henry Schein’s Southwest Distribution Center. It features dedicated areas to demonstrate a fully equipped exam room, experience laboratories, an ambulatory surgery center site, a dental equipment showroom, and “immersive learning environments.”
The tech-forward space enables customers to preview the company’s latest equipment firsthand. Supplier partners will also be able to showcase solutions from various manufacturers, and Schein employees can strengthen their expertise through real-world applications.
“Our goal with the Dallas Discovery Center is to create a collaborative space where clinicians, supplier partners, and our Team Schein Members can learn from one another and see what’s possible in health care,” Ty Ford, VP and GM of Henry Schein U.S. Medical Sales, said in a statement. “By bringing medical and dental training together, we’re helping build a more integrated, patient-centric future.”
Steve Kizy, VP and GM of the Henry Schein U.S. Dental Group, noted that oral health and overall health are “deeply interconnected.”
“Fostering closer alignment between dental and medical care, with a focus on prevention and wellness, can lead to better outcomes for patients and greater efficiency for providers,” Kizy added.
Kristen Meszaros, the company’s director of training and development, said the center “enables us to develop sales professionals and leaders who deeply understand the environments our customers operate in, empowering them to serve as consultative partners who deliver insight, expertise, and long-term value—not just products.”
A Fortune 500 company, Henry Schein is headquartered in Melville, N.Y.. The company has more than 25,000 employees worldwide, providing more than 1 million customers globally with more than 300 valued solutions that “help improve operational success and clinical outcomes.” Its centralized and automated distribution network offers a selection of more than 300,000 branded products and Henry Schein corporate brand products.
