Health & Wellness and Peer Assistance
Wellness is an active process of becoming aware of and making choices towards a healthy and fulfilling life. Professional self-care is influenced by the ability of practitioners to manage their lifestyles and happiness through personal choices and behaviors. CRNAs and CRNA students have the responsibility, accountability, and competence to make positive choices and improve their physical, mental and spiritual well-being. MANA is committed to promoting professional well-being among its members.
