![]() The work of professor and researcher Dr. Elliott Bennett-Guerrero has been published in a number of top journals, including Transfusion and the New England Journal of Medicine. Dr. Elliott Bennett-Guerrero teaches anesthesiology at the Stony Brook University School of Medicine. Practice Greenhealth, an organization that promotes environmental sustainability in the medical field, has given Stony Brook University Hospital an award for “Greening the Operating Room.” One of the Environmental Excellence Awards given by Practice Greenhealth, Greening the Operating Room recognizes an organization that has succeeded in mitigating its surgical suites’ environmental footprint. To reduce its environmental impact, Stony Brook University Hospital has installed LED surgical lighting and implemented a program to lower the temperature at night in unoccupied rooms. In addition, the hospital cut back on its use of disposable basins in favor of reusable metal basins. In 2017, the operating room teams used and reprocessed 10,000 reusable basins.
