Anesthesiology

Six faculty members from the Department of Anesthesiology have been selected to receive the School of Medicine’s 2024 Dean’s Impact Award: Robert Gereau, PhD, Bernadette Henrichs, PhD, CRNA, Allison Mitchell, MD, Rachel Moquin, EdD, MA, Dolores Njoku, MD, and Brian Wessman, MD.

The Greenhouse Gas Project, an initiative in the Division of Pediatric Anesthesiology, targets various factors contributing to high GHG emissions, with particular emphasis on nitrous oxide. By prioritizing sustainability, the Division of Pediatric Anesthesiology is not only reducing its carbon footprint, but also setting a precedent for other institutions to follow—showing how healthcare can play a crucial role in safeguarding the environment for future generations.

We thank Dr. Markowitz for his valuable contributions as a leader and appreciate that he is leaving the PDDEI/W office in such great hands with a successful handoff to three outstanding and experienced leaders. We have enjoyed and benefitted immensely from his time in the department and wish him all the best in his next adventure.
