🎉 Happy CRNA Week (January 18–24)! 🎉

This week, we’re celebrating Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs), the advanced practice nurses who provide expert anesthesia care and help keep patients safe every day.

From operating rooms to labor and delivery, pain management, and rural hospitals, CRNAs are trusted clinicians whose skill, compassion, and leadership make a difference in countless lives.

💙 Thank you, CRNAs, for all that you do! Drop a comment to thank a CRNA or tag one who deserves recognition.
