Local volunteers are working hard to ensure that all veterans laid to rest at the Delaware Veterans Memorial Cemetery are honored this December on National Wreaths Across America Day. This year, the ceremony, held simultaneously across the country at nearly 2,000 participating locations, will be on Saturday, Dec. 17, 2022.

The goal: to place a live, balsam fir veteran’s wreath at the headstone of every veteran buried there and spread patriotism and ensure no one if forgotten.

National Wreaths Across America Day is a free, non-political event, open to all.  DANA will be participating in a wreath laying ceremony on December 17 for National Wreaths Across American Day.  Please RSVP to this event if you'd like to volunteer with us, you can also click here to donate to DANA's fundraising page.

National CRNA week, January 22-28, 2023, is the AANA’s annual celebration of the nearly 59,000 practicing nurse anesthetists in the U.S.  From collaborating for transformative wins in healthcare policy to saving lives and advancing patient care, National CRNA Week gives the healthcare community and the greater public alike the opportunity to reflect on the heroic work and unique expertise of CRNAs and SRNAs while recognizing the power and resilience of our community.

To celebrate this week, the DANA Board of Directors, members and SRNAs will visit the Delaware Legislative Hall on January 25, 2023 to advocate for CRNA practice and recognition.  The DANA attendees will be introduced on the Senate and House of Representatives floor and meet with several legislators to educate them about our profession.  

All DANA members are encouraged to attend.  Please RSVP to let us know if you can join us on Dover Day 2023!
