NCC thanks sponsors of bill to improve access to anesthesia care
兔子先生and 48 other members of the Nursing Community Coalition a letter to Reps. Lauren Underwood, D-Ill., and Jen Kiggans, R-Va., thanking them for introducing the Ensuring Veterans Timely Access to Anesthesia Care Act (). The bipartisan bill would remove unnecessary barriers to care within the Veterans Health Administration by enabling certified registered nurse anesthetists to practice to the full extent of their education and training. Removing unnecessary barriers would increase access to care, decrease wait times and lower costs while maintaining the highest level of care for veterans. The legislation aligns the VHA with Defense Health Agency policy permitting CRNAs to be autonomous providers of anesthesia in the U.S. Army, Navy and Air Force. (NCC , 4/28/25)
