Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA)

We are growing our CRNA team! A CRNA is an advanced practice registered nurse who practices both autonomously and in collaboration with a variety of health providers on the interprofessional team to deliver high-quality, holistic, evidence-based anesthesia and pain care services. The CRNA cares for patients at all acuity levels within a variety of procedure settings including, but not limited to: surgical, obstetrical, diagnostic, therapeutic, and pain management.

We hire CRNAs to support patients within our Azura Vascular Care business. The primary patient population is end stage renal disease (ESRD), ASA classification 3 or 4. Patients tend to have multiple comorbidities but are typically known regularly to our facilities and seen a few times a year for access maintenance type of procedures including angioplasty, embolization, stenting, catheter placements or removals, and fistula thrombectomies.

"Our patient population is very special and deserves nothing less than the very best care.  Our team is always researching and working with other centers in innovative ways to better care for our patients."
