H.Res. 1019 is a congressional resolution recognizing the contributions of Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) to American healthcare over the past 150 years. The resolution highlights that CRNAs administer more than 58 million anesthetics annually and serve as the primary anesthesia providers in rural and underserved areas, enabling critical surgical and obstetrical services. CRNAs work across diverse healthcare settings, including hospitals, surgical centers, dental offices, military facilities, and Veterans Affairs medical centers. The resolution encourages patients, hospital administrators, healthcare professionals, and policymakers to fully utilize CRNAs' skills and expertise in clinical practice. This measure, which has no fiscal impact or funding requirements, celebrates National CRNA Week and calls on Congress to recognize and promote the CRNA profession's vital role in delivering quality, cost-effective anesthesia care.
