🩺✨ Happy CRNA Week! ✨🩺

During AANA CRNA Week, we’re proud to celebrate and recognize the incredible Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) of Johns Hopkins Medicine—highly skilled clinicians who play a vital role in patient safety, access to care, and surgical excellence every single day.

💡 Did you know?
🔹 Rural Care Champions: CRNAs provide over 80% of anesthesia care in rural U.S. communities, often serving as the sole anesthesia providers and ensuring access to obstetric and surgical care close to home.
🔹 High Impact: CRNAs administer 50+ million anesthetics each year across hospitals, ambulatory centers, dental offices, and military settings.
🔹 Extensive Training: Becoming a CRNA requires 8+ years of education and clinical training, averaging 9,000+ clinical hours, according to the AANA.
🔹 A Rich History: Nurses have provided anesthesia care for 150+ years, dating back to the Civil War—and CRNAs continue to serve as primary anesthesia providers for our military today.
🔹 Trusted Professionals: Nursing, including CRNAs, consistently ranks among the most honest and ethical professions in Gallup polls.

👏 Thank you to our CRNAs for your expertise, leadership, and unwavering commitment to patient care. We are grateful for all that you do—this week and every week!

👏 Petronela “Petra” Szima-Cotter, PA-C – Urology
For 17 years, Petra has been a cornerstone of the Urology team. Known for her flexibility, reliability, and team-first mindset, she consistently goes above and beyond to support our busy surgical service—staying late, ensuring OR coverage, and supporting residents and surgeons every step of the way. Her dedication does not go unnoticed and is deeply appreciated by all who work alongside her.

Kristen’s warmth, compassion, and clinical excellence truly set her apart. She takes the time to listen, advocate, and ensure every patient feels heard and respected. Beyond her exceptional patient care, Kristen actively contributes to research, division-wide initiatives, and mentorship. Most recently, she led a microgrant initiative to create a scoliosis patient support group and resources—making a lasting impact on our community.

🎄 APPs Giving Back This Holiday Season 🎁

This season, our Advanced Practice Providers showed up with heart, time, and service—bringing joy to children and families in our community. 💙

📸 Photos 1–3: APPs volunteered at the Hopkins Snowflake Station, a beloved annual event organized by the Child Life Department. Snowflake Station gives families the opportunity to “shop” for gifts for their hospitalized children and siblings—creating moments of normalcy and joy during a difficult time.

📸 Photos 4–6: Members of our Diversity & Outreach Subcommittee participated in the Empower 4 Life gift-wrapping event last Saturday. Together, we wrapped clothing and toys to support four children living in Baltimore County shelters this holiday season. A high-spirited afternoon filled with laughter, teamwork, and purpose!

So proud of our APPs for leading with compassion—both inside and outside the clinical setting. 💙
Thank you to everyone who volunteered and helped make the holidays brighter for those who need it most. ✨
