Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim January 18-24, 2026, as Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist Week in the State of New York

This Assembly Resolution (K 844) requests Governor Kathy Hochul to officially designate January 18-24, 2026, as "Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist Week" in New York State. It does not create new laws or policies but seeks symbolic recognition for Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs), who provide anesthesia care in hospitals, rural clinics, military settings, and other healthcare facilities across New York. The resolution highlights CRNAs' historical role, their critical work in underserved areas, and their annual care for millions of patients. As a ceremonial resolution, it requires the Governor to issue a proclamation for this designated week, with no direct legal or financial impact on affected parties.
