This National CRNA Week, we would like to thank the educators of certified registered nurse anesthetists. Our faculty, past and present, are committed to ensuring that Wayne State CRNA graduates are prepared to provide the highest quality care to patients in Southeastern Michigan and beyond.

One such educator, Karen Plaus, a 1978 graduate of Wayne State’s nurse anesthesia program, went on to serve the CRNA profession for over 40 years. Karen was a respected mentor, educator, presenter and author. Visit this link to learn more about Karen and the impact that she had on thousands of aspiring nurse anesthetists.

In honor of National Pharmacist Day, we recognize our namesake, Eugene Applebaum. His entrepreneurial spirit inspired him to open his first drug store just three years after graduating from Wayne State. Thirty-five years later, Applebaum's leadership and determination led to the creation of Arbor Drugs, becoming the eighth largest drug store chain in the U.S. with more than 200 stores.

On National Pharmacist Day, we are honored to recognize Eugene Applebaum and all pharmacists for improving the health of our communities, one patient at a time.
