We recently received the following message from a patient, and couldn't agree more! He is awesome!

“I had a consultation with Keith, CRNA, the day before my surgery. I have had a lot of surgeries and am a difficult intubation. Because of that I’ve had many awful intubations and was scared for another one. Keith listened to my concerns, was kind, compassionate and knowledgeable. We came up with a game plan for the next day and I left feeling much better about the process. The morning of surgery he came in and made sure I was comfortable and gave pre-surgery meds to help ease my fears. It all went very well. He gave me confidence in your facility and staff for any future medical procedures I may need. Keith also called me at home to see how I was feeling. All of the staff that had a part in my surgery were great, but he was the best!”

Help us show Keith some love 👇

During National CRNA Week, we celebrate Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) for their critical role in providing safe, high-quality anesthesia care across South Dakota—especially in rural and underserved communities.

Through the SDANA Future Fund Scholarship, the South Dakota Nurses Foundation is proud to support SRNAs preparing to become CRNAs and serve patients across our state. This scholarship helps invest in education today to ensure access to anesthesia care tomorrow.

Join us in celebrating CRNAs—and supporting the future of nurse anesthesia in
South Dakota.
