Rooted in Care, Driven by Purpose
NJANA CAREs
NJANA CAREs is the newly formed charitable arm of the New Jersey Association of Nurse Anesthetists (NJANA). “CAREs” stands for “Charity and Relief Expenditures.”
Our Mission
Our Mission is to Provide Assistance to Individuals and Communities at Risk for Health and Wellness Disparities in New Jersey through Charitable Giving.
Our Community
NJANA represents more than 900 Advanced Practice Nurse – Anesthesia providers (APN-A’s)* across our great state of New Jersey. As APN-A’s, caring is our calling. We care for patients in New Jersey’s hospitals, surgery centers, and doctors’ offices, providing safe, compassionate anesthesia care to hundreds of thousands of patients each year.
Our caring doesn’t end at the operating room doors—it extends beyond our workday and manifests itself in giving our time, energy, and other resources to those in need throughout our state.
*APN-A’s are also known as Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs)
Our Commitment
NJANA CAREs is the embodiment of nurse anesthetists’ ability and willingness to give extraordinarily, wherever and whenever care is needed to be given.
Our Beliefs
NJANA’s members believe that collectively we can make a significant difference in the lives of those whose well-being is in jeopardy. We are committed to supporting the communities of New Jersey through the current health crisis any way we can.
