Keeping Anesthesia Care Within Reach

KANA brings CRNAs together around advocacy, education, and engagement—so the people who depend on anesthesia care and the professionals who provide it have a stronger voice.

A statewide role

CRNAs help keep care closer to home.

Across Kansas, CRNAs provide surgical, obstetric, trauma, and pain management services. In rural communities, access to anesthesia care depends on CRNAs.
