"Watching CRNAs lead with confidence, precision, and genuine humanity showed me the kind of provider I wanted to become."

Meet our newest board member, Abigail Chua, DNP-CRNA! 🌟

Abigail joined as a student member in 2020 and is currently a CRNA at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center.

"I am passionate about advancing our profession and advocating for the unique needs of CRNAs in Ohio. My experience in clinical practice and preceptorship provides me a well-rounded perspective and a deep commitment to supporting our community. I strongly believe in the power of collaboration, professional development and proactive leadership to strengthen our collective voice.

I am honored to have the opportunity to serve on the OSANA board and am eager to contribute to the continued growth and impact of our association."

➑ Abigail's favorite case: Plastics and EP cases – "I enjoy seeing the plastic surgeons work on restoring traumatic injuries and the end result on patients. Seeing the resolution of a patient’s arrhythmia in EP after a successful ablation is also rewarding because it helps improve their quality-of-life post-op."

Please join us in giving Abigail a warm welcome to the Board!
