🩺✨ Happy CRNA Week! ✨🩺

During AANA CRNA Week, we’re proud to celebrate and recognize the incredible Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) of Johns Hopkins Medicine—highly skilled clinicians who play a vital role in patient safety, access to care, and surgical excellence every single day.

💡 Did you know?
🔹 Rural Care Champions: CRNAs provide over 80% of anesthesia care in rural U.S. communities, often serving as the sole anesthesia providers and ensuring access to obstetric and surgical care close to home.
🔹 High Impact: CRNAs administer 50+ million anesthetics each year across hospitals, ambulatory centers, dental offices, and military settings.
🔹 Extensive Training: Becoming a CRNA requires 8+ years of education and clinical training, averaging 9,000+ clinical hours, according to the AANA.
🔹 A Rich History: Nurses have provided anesthesia care for 150+ years, dating back to the Civil War—and CRNAs continue to serve as primary anesthesia providers for our military today.
🔹 Trusted Professionals: Nursing, including CRNAs, consistently ranks among the most honest and ethical professions in Gallup polls.

👏 Thank you to our CRNAs for your expertise, leadership, and unwavering commitment to patient care. We are grateful for all that you do—this week and every week!
