 RESOLUTION

 Recognizing the roles and the contributions of Americas Certified 
 Registered Nurse Anesthetists

    (CRNAs) and their critical role in 
 providing quality health care for the public and the Nation's Armed 
 Forces for more than 150 years and through multiple public health 
 emergencies and beyond.

Whereas Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists

    (CRNAs) are essential to 
 America's health care system, providing high-quality, cost-effective 
 anesthesia and pain management care for more than 150 years as the first 
 anesthesia providers;
Whereas CRNAs safely administer more than 58,000,000 anesthetics to patients 
 each year;
Whereas CRNAs are the primary providers of anesthesia care in rural America, 
 enabling health care facilities in these medically underserved areas to 
 offer obstetrical, surgical, trauma stabilization, and pain management 
 services for millions of underserved and at-risk people;
Whereas CRNAs practice in every setting in which anesthesia is delivered, 
 including traditional hospital surgical suites and obstetrical delivery 
 rooms, the offices of dentists, podiatrists, ophthalmologists, and 
 plastic surgeons, ambulatory surgical centers, and United States 
 Military and Public Health Services and Department of Veterans Affairs 
 medical facilities; and
Whereas the purpose of National CRNA Week, held January 19, 2025, through 
 January 25, 2025, is to raise public awareness of and celebrate the 
 Nation's 65,000 Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists and student 
 registered nurse anesthetists: Now, therefore, be it
 Resolved, That the House of Representatives thanks and promotes the 
profession of Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists

    (CRNAs) and their 
incredible, selfless, and dedicated service for over 150 years, by 
encouraging patients, hospital administrators, health care 
professionals, policymakers, and others to utilize CRNAs to their full 
potential and to recognize the work of CRNAs by participating in 
National CRNA Week.
