WASHINGTON, DC: Last week, Congresswoman Jen Kiggans (VA-02) was awarded the National Health Leadership Award by the American Association of Nurse Anesthesiology (AANA) in recognition of her advocacy efforts on behalf of nurses in Congress.
“Representative Kiggans has been a long-time champion of CRNAs at both the state and federal level, working for increased access to anesthesia care for patients and our ability to practice at the full scope of our education and licensure,” said AANA President Dru Riddle, PhD, DNP, CRNA, FAAN. “We are pleased to have recognized and honored Representative Kiggans for her service and her support.”
“Nurses are invaluable members of our communities who truly understand what it means to serve others,” said Congresswoman Kiggans. “As the only nurse practitioner in Congress, I am proud to be a voice and advocate for my fellow nurses. Supporting the more than four million Americans who make up our nation’s nursing workforce directly impacts the health of our country. I am honored to receive the AANA National Health Leadership Award and will continue to work across the aisle to pass legislation to improve nursing recruitment, education, and retention.”
