COANA PAC

Support the COANA PAC: Protecting Patient Access. Advancing CRNA Practice.

Every day, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) deliver safe, high-quality anesthesia care to patients across Colorado. But the ability to continue providing this care—independently, efficiently, and without unnecessary barriers—depends on a strong voice in Colorado’s General Assembly. 

That voice is the COANA Political Action Committee (PAC).

Why Your Donation Matters

Policy decisions at the Capitol directly influence your practice, your profession, and your patients’ access to care. The COANA PAC ensures that CRNAs are heard—loudly and clearly—by the lawmakers who shape Colorado’s healthcare landscape.

Your support is an investment in our practice and helps us:

✓ Protect CRNA Autonomy
Prevent rollbacks to practice rights and push forward legislation that recognizes CRNAs as essential anesthesia providers.

✓ Ensure Patient Access to Safe Anesthesia Care
Especially in rural and underserved regions where CRNAs are often the only anesthesia professionals.

✓ Build Relationships with Key Legislators
PAC funds enable COANA to support candidates who understand the value CRNAs bring to Colorado’s healthcare system.

✓ Counter Misinformation from Opposing Groups
Your investment strengthens our ability to provide accurate, evidence-based information to policymakers.

What the PAC Does

The COANA PAC is the political arm of our profession in Colorado. It:

  • Supports pro-CRNA candidates;
  • Engages in legislative advocacy;
  • Educates elected officials on anesthesia care and patient safety;
  • Protects and advances the CRNA scope of practice; and
  • Ensures Colorado remains a leader in modern, patient-centered anesthesia care.

This is how we make sure CRNAs are not just part of the conversation—but shaping it!  Invest in your profession today!

Colorado Needs Strong CRNA Advocacy Now More Than Ever

Healthcare is evolving—and so are the legislative threats and opportunities affecting CRNA practice. Without strong political engagement, decisions about your profession could be made without the CRNA perspective.

Your investment ensures that doesn’t happen.
