"It has been a tremendous honor to serve, and I will always be grateful for the opportunity."

Serving as OSANA President has been both an honor and a privilege for Kim Riviello, DNP, MBA, CRNA.

"It's been an amazing year. The passage of House Bill 52 and Ohio's insurance equity law, along with Ohio opting out of physician supervision for CRNAs, made this a historic year for our profession, and I couldn't be prouder to have had the opportunity to represent OSANA during such an important time."

Before modern anesthesia machines, there were devices like this.

The O.H. Allis Ether Inhaler was used alongside chloroform during the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the evolution of anesthesia care and the pioneers who helped shape the profession.

As her term comes to a close, President Kim Riviello, DNP, MBA, CRNA, looks toward the future of the organization with confidence.

"I pass the baton to Nick with great pride. Our association has accomplished so much this year, and I know OSANA will continue to grow and move the profession forward under his leadership."

During her presidency, Ohio CRNAs celebrated significant advocacy victories that will have a lasting impact on the profession and the patients they serve. While these accomplishments brought meaningful change for CRNAs across Ohio, Kim is quick to recognize the many people who helped make them possible.

"I thank the entire OSANA Board, our Government Relations Committee, our lobbyists, Kellie Deeter, and all of our members who supported the process through PAC donations, outreach to legislators, and advocacy efforts throughout the year. These successes belong to all of us."

For Kim, the achievements of the past year showcase what can be accomplished when dedicated professionals work together toward a common goal.

"It has been a tremendous honor to serve, and I will always be grateful for the opportunity."
