Statistics show that putting safety first, decreases your risk of injury!

View the PANA Public Service Announcement:

If you or someone you know and love are in an accident where they are injured, a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist may be one of the first people to see you on arrival at the hospital. Injuries from a vehicular or childhood bicycle accident can be devastating. Time in the hospital can be very painful and long. Statistics have shown that just a simple latch of the seatbelt, or wearing a helmet while riding your motorcycle or bicycle can dramatically decrease the severity of injury. And PLEASE do not drink alcohol and drive! Do the people you love a favor, and put safety first. For more information, visit the listed Internet links below.
