MERCY HOSPITAL CELEBRATES NURSE ANESTHETIST WEEK
& OFFERS INFORMATIONAL PRESENTATION

Port Huron, MI…For many, the knowledge of impending surgery can be worrisome. Thoughts of beeping monitors and masked faces all add to the unease. The reassuring news is that an expert anesthesia provider will keep patients safe and comfortable during procedures. At Mercy Hospital those professionals are a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA).

Nurse Anesthetists have been at the forefront of patient safety and comfort since the Civil War. Standing the test of time, there are now more than 33,000 CRNAs across the nation, providing watchful care to thousands of patients every day. To help celebrate National Nurse Anesthetists Week (January 22 – 28), Mercy Hospital CRNAs will host a special poster presentation, providing valuable information regarding the medical care and services offered to surgical patients.

This insightful presentation is an outstanding opportunity for patients who will or plan to undergo surgery in the near future. The event will be held Wednesday, January 25, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., in the Mercy Hospital Cafeteria. Mercy Hospital CRNAs will be on-hand during this time to offer direct answers to questions regarding procedures and equipment. No registration is required. Please join Mercy Hospital in celebrating this important medical service, and learn why CRNAs are a patient’s eyes, ears and voice during surgical procedures.
