A RESOLUTION recognizing February 26, 2025, as Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists Day in Kentucky.

This ceremonial resolution designates February 26, 2025, as Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) Day in Kentucky to honor their role in the state's healthcare system. It recognizes CRNAs as primary anesthesia providers in rural Kentucky counties (nearly half of all counties), their work in military care, and their provision of cost-effective anesthesia services across diverse settings like hospitals, clinics, and dental offices. The resolution has no legal effect or policy changes - it serves only to publicly acknowledge CRNAs' contributions to patient care, particularly in underserved communities. It was introduced and adopted by the Kentucky Senate on February 26, 2025.
