2. Public Relations Objectives
Calendar year 2016 has once again been transformational for the Michigan Association of Nurse Anesthetists (MANA). In response to a newly revised strategic plan developed with the assistance of Chris Bettin, AANA Senior Director of Public Relations & Scholarly Publications, MANA’s public relations (PR) committee took up the torch to put the issues of greatest importance to Michigan CRNAs and their communities of interest at the forefront. Michigan is still one of only 10 states left in the nation with language requiring physician supervision of CRNAs. The primary objective for MANA has been to continue the hard work of moving legislation forward to remove this requirement and to energize MANA members whose passion and drive is needed to see MANA’s initiatives forward.

3. National CRNA Week 2016 #crnaweek
National CRNA Week is the AANA’s annual celebration of anesthesia patient safety and the nation’s 49,000+ Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists and student registered nurse anesthetists who safely and cost-effectively provide approximately 40 million anesthetics each year. Known as National Nurse Anesthetists Week as recently as 2014, the new name for this popular event helps patients, hospital administrators, healthcare professionals, policymakers, and others become more familiar with the CRNA credential and the exceptional advanced practice registered nurses who have earned it.
