  Healthcare systems generate an enormous volume of surgical waste, much of it unused and recoverable. Surgical supply recovery programs offer a practical, high-impact strategy to reduce environmental harm, lower costs, and support health—while maintaining the highest standards of patient safety. This presentation features speaker Veronica M. Zoghbi, MD who explores how surgical supply recovery programs can be successfully designed, implemented, and sustained within perioperative environments. Drawing on her multidisciplinary background in surgery, anesthesiology, perioperative safety, and sustainability leadership, Dr. Zoghbi discusses real-world challenges, key stakeholders, and best practices for aligning recovery efforts with clinical workflows and regulatory requirements.
