CRNA Week 2026 (January 18–23) is a weeklong celebration of connection, wellness, advocacy, and professional growth. The week kicks off with a festive Pickleball Brunch on Sunday to toast another year of excellence. On Wellness Tuesday, CRNAs are encouraged to care for themselves with discounted spa services and an evening guided online meditation. Wednesday brings Connection Night with Capitol Day and a Happy Hour alongside legislators, strengthening relationships and advocacy. On Thursday, CRNAs come together online for “OR Unscripted,” a candid discussion on professionalism and precepting. The week wraps up on Friday with an online Financial Literacy session, focused on investing in the future of CRNAs.

Together, these events honor CRNAs, support well-being, amplify our voice, and invest in the next generation of nurse anesthetists.
