Ohio CRNAs make their voices heard on Capitol Hill and bring home national recognition.

What a week it was. The Ohio State Association of Nurse Anesthetists is proud to share that OSANA has been presented with the Excellence in State Government Relations Advocacy Award at the AANA Mid-Year Assembly in Washington, D.C. We are honored, humbled, and so deeply grateful for this recognition.

This award is presented annually by the American Association of Nurse Anesthesiology to one state association whose work in the state legislative or regulatory arena has meaningfully advanced the nurse anesthesiology profession. To be selected for this honor is a reflection not of any one person's effort, but of the collective dedication of an entire community of CRNAs across Ohio who refuse to sit on the sidelines when it comes to protecting our profession and our patients.

National CRNA Week honors the more than 75,000 Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists and nurse anesthesiology residents who provide safe, compassionate anesthesia care across the United States. Each year, OSANA proudly joins this national celebration, recognizing the extraordinary skill, dedication, and life-saving impact CRNAs have on patients and communities every single day.
