Recognizing the roles and the contributions of Americas Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) and their critical role in providing quality health care for the public and the Nation's Armed Forces for more than 150 years, through multiple public health emergencies, and beyond.

This is a commemorative resolution (HRES 55), not a policy bill. It formally recognizes Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) for their 150+ year service in providing anesthesia care across the U.S., including in rural areas, military facilities, and during public health emergencies like the pandemic. The resolution thanks CRNAs for their "incredible, selfless, and dedicated service" and encourages the public and healthcare stakeholders to acknowledge their work during National CRNA Week (January 23-28, 2023). It has no legal effect or policy changes - it is purely symbolic recognition.
