Bill > HCR169

This resolution, a House concurrent resolution from Vermont, recognizes the significant and unique contributions of Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) within the state's healthcare system. CRNAs are advanced practice registered nurses who have been providing anesthesia for over 150 years and are highly trusted healthcare professionals. They practice in a wide variety of settings, including hospitals, surgical centers, and private practices, and are crucial providers of anesthesia, especially in rural and underserved areas, as well as for military personnel. The resolution highlights their extensive education, training, board certification, and state licensure, which qualify them to make independent judgments in anesthesia care. It also acknowledges their ability to provide specialized, cost-effective, and compassionate care to patients of all ages and for all types of procedures, and their capacity to address the complex health needs of vulnerable populations like veterans. Finally, the resolution directs the Secretary of State to send a copy of this recognition to the Vermont Association of Nurse Anesthetists.
