As the nation’s leading provider of anesthesia services, CRNAs are the present and future to an ever-evolving healthcare landscape. CRNAs are highly educated, advanced practice registered nurses who help improve access to safe and affordable anesthesia care in an overburdened healthcare system. Safely providing more than 49 million anesthetics to U.S. patients every year, CRNAs are the primary providers of anesthesia care in rural and under-served communities and to U.S. military personnel.
