Join us in celebrating their quality and excellence in anesthesia care during National CRNA Week Jan Our patients and their safe journey through surgery is our priority, says Joy Ray, SCR CRNA. We care for them at a very vulnerable time in their life, and it is an honor to provide safe, quality anesthesia for all of our patients, one at a time. St. Claire Regional CRNAs First Row (L to R): Joy Ray, Carri Hicks Second Row (L to R): Emily Mason, Cindy Blankenship, Irene Rooney, Kristi Lynch Established by the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists, National CRNA Week was created to encourage CRNAs to take the opportunity to educate the public about anesthesia safety, questions to ask prior to undergoing surgery, and the benefits of receiving anesthesia care from nurse anesthetists. One of the many rewards of being a nurse anesthetist is providing patients with the comfort of knowing that I will be by their side monitoring their vital signs and adjusting their anesthetics to ensure a pain free and safe anesthesia experience, says Kristi Lynch, SCR CRNA. Nurse anesthetists are advanced practice registered nurses who administer more than 34 million anesthetics in the United States each year, and practice in every setting in which anesthesia is available.
