WANA extends our heartfelt thoughts and prayers to all of our CRNAs, nurse anesthesia residents (NARs), their families, and the many communities affected by the devastating wildfires across Eastern Washington, including the Spokane area.

We are deeply saddened by the immense destruction and hardship these fires have caused. To those who have had to evacuate or have experienced loss, please know that your WANA family stands with you. We pray for your safety, strength, and a swift resolution to these devastating fires.

If you have been impacted and are in need of assistance, or if you would like to support those affected, please consider connecting with local disaster relief organizations such as the American Red Cross, the Washington State Department of Emergency Management, or your local community relief efforts. Every act of kindness, whether through volunteering, donating, or simply checking in on a colleague or neighbor, can make a meaningful difference.

In times like these, our profession and our community are strongest when we support one another. Please stay safe, look after one another, and know that you remain in our thoughts.
