Happy #Anesthesiologist Week! We are honored to recognize and celebrate our anesthesiologists for the extraordinary care they deliver each day.

We proudly recognize and thank our CRNAs for the exceptional patient care they provide every day. #crnaweek2026 Their clinical expertise, vigilance, and compassion are foundational to the safe, high-quality anesthesia care our patients rely on!

Dr. Cynthia Wong has shared her plans to step down as DEO in February 2026. As the department enters its next chapter, Dr. Archit Sharma will serve as interim Chair beginning March 1, 2026, while UI Health Care launches a national search for the next Chair and DEO.

Behind every safe surgery is an #anesthesia professional ensuring comfort, precision, and care. This holiday season, we proudly recognize the expertise, commitment, and compassion of our anesthesia team—every case, every day. A BIG thank you for all that you do! #HappyHolidays
