Fall Meeting Happenings

PANA’s Fall Symposium was held at the Omni William Penn Hotel in downtown Pittsburgh. Since 1916, the Omni William Penn Hotel has captivated guests such as John F. Kennedy and Lawrence Welk with its striking beauty and charming elegance. Celebrated for its ultra comfortable guest room accommodations, award-winning cuisine and exquisite banquet space, this Pittsburgh luxury hotel has been lavishly restored to its original grandeur. 150 CRNAs added their names to a long list of luminaries who have graced these halls.

PANA President Joseph D'Amico welcomed those CRNA's. The annual President's address can be read here
