SENATE RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize the state's certified registered nurse anesthetists in
honor of Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists Week in Texas,
which took place January 19 through 25, 2025; and
WHEREAS, Certified registered nurse anesthetists are
advanced practice registered nurses who play an essential role in
our health care system; they are the primary providers of
anesthesia in rural and underserved areas in Texas and to United
States military personnel; and
WHEREAS, With extensive experience in critical care
nursing and anesthesia care, nurse anesthetists practice in a
broad spectrum of medical settings; they are qualified to make
independent judgments regarding all aspects of anesthesia, and
their expertise is a vital element of care in traditional
operating rooms, general practice offices, and specialty
clinics; and
WHEREAS, Texas is proud to pay tribute to these trusted
health care professionals who have devoted their careers to
providing safe and compassionate care to all patients, and it is
indeed fitting that CRNA Week be recognized in honor of their
many contributions to the health and well-being of Texans; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 89th
Legislature, hereby commend all who serve as certified
registered nurse anesthetists in Texas for the important role
they play in the provision of quality health care; and, be it
further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in
honor of these dedicated health care specialists.
