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 honORA^®ble 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^®™.
