Please support full practice authority for Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists

Dear [Recipient],

I am writing as a constituent and a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) practicing in [Your Town/State]. I urge you to support full practice authority for CRNAs in [State].

CRNAs administer the majority of anesthesia care in this country and the entirety of anesthesia care in many rural communities. Decades of peer-reviewed evidence — including the Dulisse & Cromwell study published in Health Affairs and a Cochrane systematic review — show no measurable difference in patient outcomes between CRNA-only practice and team-based or anesthesiologist-only models. The 24 states that have opted out of CMS supervision requirements have shown no degradation in patient safety.

What full practice authority does provide is sustainable access to anesthesia care in communities that cannot recruit or retain anesthesiologists. When supervision rules are enforced in rural hospitals that cannot fill those positions, the anesthesia department closes — and with it, surgery, OB, and emergency procedures.

[Tell your story: a recent case, a community impact, a personal experience that brings this home. One paragraph. Specific.]

I am asking you to support legislation removing physician supervision requirements for CRNAs in [State], aligning our state with current evidence and with the 24 states already operating successfully under full practice authority.

Thank you for your time and your service.

Respectfully,
[Your Name], CRNA
[City, State]
[Years in Practice]
