The Green Health Care Program is an extensive qualifications checklist that closely examines the sustainability of health care offices throughout the nation in the major categories of:

• Solid Waste Reduction and Recycling
• Energy Conservation
• Water Conservation
• Pollution Prevention
• Medical Technology
• Healthy People

A "Gold Star" rating level is the highest possible rating that a health care facility can achieve and ORA Studios has proudly attained this honorable benchmark of sustainability. Ora also strives to continuously set the standard within the dental industry and has become the first dental and surgical office in the nation, through the use of state-of-the-art technology, to generate ZERO bio-hazardous waste. This is a landmark achievement and unique in the industry. The WHO (World Health Organization) statistically allocates every North American resident as generating approximately 6lbs of bio-hazardous waste per year, which astoundingly amounts to over 1,108,000 million tons per year and is rapidly growing. Ora has found a solution to this environmental threat, which has become yet another component to our practice of Eco-Friendly Dentistry™.
