Radiology Business | July 30, 2024
Find actionable insights to achieve sustainability and savings in radiology in this newest of ITN’s “One on One” video series with Reed A. Omary, MD, MS, Vanderbilt University Medical Center (Nashville, TN). Tune in to "Promoting the Planet's Health: Sustainability in Radiology," to hear from a recognized leader about impactful, cost-saving initiatives radiologists, associations, healthcare systems and vendors can take, and why action is imperative.
Omary, the Carol D. and Henry P. Pendergrass Professor in the VUMC Department of Radiology, is a distinguished radiologist whose commitment to driving healthcare sustainability initiatives has gained both attention and momentum. After serving as Chair of the Department of Radiology and Radiology Sciences from 2012-2023, in June, 2023, Omary stepped away from his role as Chair to pursue a sabbatical focused on climate change and sustainable healthcare. He is author of The Green Leap, a blog about making healthcare sustainable, and founder of the Greenwell Project, a sustainable healthcare non-profit. He has presented a Plenary Lecture at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) Annual Scientific Sessions and American College of Radiology (ACR) meetings on the topic, and continues to connect with healthcare systems, vendors and colleagues to advance the issue.
