Today we celebrate Dr. James R. Walker, a mentor, advocate, and leader who has shaped the CRNA profession in Texas and beyond.

Dr. Walker has dedicated his career to advancing nurse anesthesia through education, advocacy, and mentorship.

He's served as TxANA President, AANA National President, and Associate Professor at Baylor College of Medicine, but his greatest impact may be the lives he's touched along the way.

Multiple of TxANA's board members were mentored by Dr. Walker.

Countless other CRNAs and SRNAs across Texas have learned from his expertise, been inspired by his advocacy, and benefited from his commitment to the profession.

In 2022, Baylor College of Medicine established the James R. Walker Award for Clinical Excellence in his honor, a testament to his lasting influence on nurse anesthesia education.

Dr. Walker's message has always been clear: lead with excellence, advocate with passion, and give back to your profession.

Thank you, Dr. Walker, for everything you've done for Texas CRNAs.

Your legacy continues in every CRNA you've mentored and every patient we serve.
