Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA)
Jared Weishaar was looking for an opportunity to return to a smaller community in the
Western United States.
He grew up in Shelby, Montana and worked as a registered nurse in the communities
of White Sulphur and Fort Harrison before completing his Master of Science,
Biological Sciences, Anesthesia at
Central Connecticut State University in New Britain, CT. During his training Jared performed more than 700
anesthesia procedures at five different regional hospitals in the New
England area. He chose CCH as a place where he could continue to expand
his anesthesia skills in a system where a full range of surgical procedures
are performed.
Jared and his wife Brooke have two sons, ages 4 and 6. When he’s
not working, Jared enjoys all kinds of outdoor activities, especially
mountain biking.
Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNA) are advanced practice registered
nurses who administer approximately 40 million anesthetics to patients
in the United States each year. CRNAs are the primary providers of anesthesia
care in rural America, enabling healthcare facilities in medically underserved
areas to offer obstetrical, surgical, and trauma stabilization services.
When anesthesia is administered by a nurse anesthetist, it is recognized
as the practice of nursing; when administered by an anesthesiologist,
it is recognized as the practice of medicine. CRNAs and anesthesiologists
work together as a team at CCH to provide exceptional patient care in
Campbell County Memorial Hospital's
Surgical Services department and at the
Powder River Surgery Center.
