Tell Washington

Veterans can’t wait months for the surgical care they need today. You can support veterans by advocating with Congress and the Veterans Administration (VA) to expand access to anesthesia care delivered by highly skilled Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs). The VA is considering a proposal to give veterans direct access to CRNAs in the VA health system, but approval of this plan could take years. Join us in telling Washington veterans need care now.
