OSANA’s student board is where the future of nurse anesthesia in Ohio starts taking shape. This group of Student Registered Nurse Anesthetists (SRNAs) represents programs across the state, serves as a bridge between students and OSANA leadership, and helps ensure student perspectives are always part of the conversation around advocacy, education, and the profession’s future.
The Board of Directors of the Ohio State Association of Nurse Anesthetists (OSANA) serves as the guiding force behind the organization’s mission to advance nurse anesthesiology through education, advocacy, and empowerment. Representing more than 3,150 Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) and students across Ohio, the board is composed of dedicated healthcare professionals who bring clinical expertise, policy insight, and leadership experience to the organization and healthcare across the state. Their commitment ensures that OSANA remains a credible and proactive voice for CRNAs throughout the region.
The Ohio State Association of Nurse Anesthetists (OSANA) continues its mission to advance nurse anesthesiology through excellence in education, advocacy, knowledge, and member empowerment. As the association welcomes a new president, we reflect with gratitude on the leadership of outgoing President Nicholas Farinacci, DNP, CRNA and look forward with anticipation to the vision of incoming President Kim Riviello, DNP, MBA, CRNA.
