OUR MISSION: Community of healthcare providers seeking practical, evidence-based, and community-supported sustainable practices in perioperative care and beyond.
Welcome to GreenAnesthesiology.org
GreenAnesthesiology.org is a dedicated community hub bridging the gap between clinical excellence and environmental stewardship. We empower healthcare providers through evidence-based education, industry partnerships, and collective advocacy to transform perioperative care into a low-carbon, sustainable future.

CONNECT with COMMUNITY
Forge partnerships with anesthesiology and broader healthcare societies to share evidence-based education, co-develop sustainability curricula, and amplify advocacy efforts for low-carbon clinical practice. Engage community organizations and like-minded professional networks to exchange best practices, coordinate policy initiatives, and create scalable programs that advance sustainable healthcare across institutions.

INDUSTRY AND TECHNOLOGY
Partner with manufacturers, suppliers, and waste managers to reduce system-wide emissions. They control design, supply chains, and disposal, enabling scalable solutions—low‑GWP anesthetics, circular procurement, and coordinated logistics—that single hospitals can’t achieve alone.
Media
Learn about the critical impact of anesthetic gases and how to master new technologies—from low-flow anesthesia and waste gas capture to data-driven EMR dashboards. Read case studies and research on solutions like circular procurement and low-GWP alternatives that transform perioperative care into a sustainable standard for the future.
resources
Explore these resources tailored specifically for anesthesiology sustainability, alongside broader tools and guidance for physicians and healthcare teams working to reduce environmental impact. These materials offer practical strategies, case studies, and policy guidance to support sustainable practice at both the department and system level.
