Assembly Resolution No. 13
 
BY: M. of A. Paulin
 
        MEMORIALIZING Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim
        January  24-30,  2021, as Certified Registered Nurse
        Anesthetist Week in the State of New York
 
  WHEREAS, It is the custom of  this  Legislative  Body  to  recognize
official  week  that is set aside to inform key audiences about the role
and value of  Certified  Registered  Nurse  Anesthetists  in  delivering
anesthesia  care  in  today's  and  tomorrow's  United States healthcare
system; and
 
  WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and  in  full  accord  with  its
long-standing  traditions,  this  Legislative  Body  is  justly proud to
memorialize Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim January 24-30, 2021, as
Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist Week in the State of New York, in
conjunction with the observance of National Certified  Registered  Nurse
Anesthetist Week; and
 
  WHEREAS,   Certified   Registered  Nurse  Anesthetists  (CRNAs)  are
essential  to  America's  healthcare  system;  these  dedicated   health
professionals   have   been   providing   high-quality,   cost-effective
anesthesia care for more than 150 years, and  have  safely  administered
approximately 43 million anesthetics to patients each year; and
 
  WHEREAS,  Nurse  Anesthetists  were  the first professional group to
provide anesthesia in the United States, and are the  oldest  recognized
group of advanced practice registered nurse specialists; and
 
  WHEREAS,  These  registered  nurses  have completed a graduate-level
educational  program  in  a  nationally  accredited  program  of   nurse
anesthesia,  and,  after  graduation,  they  are  qualified  to take the
national certifying examination; and
 
  WHEREAS, Nurses first provided anesthesia to wounded soldiers during
the Civil War; since World War I, nurse anesthetists have been the  main
provider  of  anesthesia care to United States military personnel on the
front lines; today, these remarkable men and women serve our soldiers in
conflicts throughout the Middle East; and
 
  WHEREAS, CRNAs are the primary providers of anesthesia care in rural
America, enabling healthcare facilities in these  medically  underserved
areas to offer obstetrical, surgical, and trauma stabilization services;
in some states, CRNAs are the sole providers in nearly 100% of the rural
hospitals; and
 
  WHEREAS,  CRNAs  practice  in  every  setting in which anesthesia is
delivered including traditional hospital surgical suites and obstetrical
delivery rooms; the offices of dentists, podiatrists,  ophthalmologists,
and  plastic  surgeons;  ambulatory  surgical centers; and United States
Military and Public Health Services and Veterans Administration  medical
facilities; and
 
  WHEREAS,  Each  day, New Yorkers benefit from the caring and skilled
attention of these individuals and it is appropriate  to  recognize  the
 
innumerable  contributions  of  CRNAs  by  designating a special week in
their honor; and
 
  WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to recognize these
exceptional  healthcare professionals for their outstanding contribution
in adding to  the  quality  of  life  in  our  State  and  Nation;  now,
therefore, be it
 
  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim January 24-30, 2021, as
Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist Week in the State of New York, in
recognition of  our  appreciation  of  CRNAs,  and  to  celebrate  their
dedication and professionalism; and be it further
 
  RESOLVED,  That  copies  of  this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to The Honorable Andrew M. Cuomo, Governor of the  State  of
New  York;  and Board Members of the New York State Association of Nurse
Anesthetists.
