of medical settings, and they administer anesthetics to millions
of patients each year; their expertise is an essential element of
care in traditional surgical environments and in a wide range of
other medical facilities, including many general practice
offices and specialty clinics; and
WHEREAS, To honor the important work of nurse anesthetists
across the nation, the week of January 20 through 26, 2019, has
been designated as National CRNA Week; and
WHEREAS, Texas is home to more than 4,500 certified
registered nurse anesthetists who have devoted their careers to

RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th
