Michigan Society of Anesthesiologists

Patient safety and transparency is the core of the advocacy work we do at MSA.

MSA recently launched a billboard and digital advertising effort around a growing and concerning trend in healthcare — a lack of truth and transparency about who is delivering anesthesia during surgery and procedures.

Before receiving anesthesia, ask: “Will a board-certified anesthesiologist be part of my care team?”

As anesthesiologists, we know firsthand how immediate and skilled intervention in a crisis saves lives.

There’s still a lot of summer left and summer safety begins with the basics: CPR.

Whether it’s in an OR or on the beach, CPR saves lives. We urge you to make sure your CPR training is up to date and that your family and friends are trained, too!
