Happy Wellness Wednesday!
TANA President, Jordan Hollinshead, and member, Kelly Ragon-Salazar, happened to cross paths in the same workout class this week—proof that even with busy schedules, making time for yourself matters.
Don’t forget to prioritize you!
In recognition of LGBTQ+ Pride Month this June, TANA wishes to thank the many CRNAs and SRNAs who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning for the safe, compassionate, high-quality care you provide to patients across Tennessee throughout the year. Your contributions to our state’s healthcare system and the specialty of nurse anesthesiology are invaluable! #pridemonth

TANA remembers and honors the U.S. military personnel who sacrificed their lives to protect our freedoms.
TANA also recognizes the countless CRNAs who over the years have courageously put themselves in harm’s way to care for our soldiers on the front lines of U.S. military actions around the globe.
Thank you for being there for those who fight for us. We are forever grateful! #MemorialDay
