DIVERSITY
Diversity in nurse anesthesia is more than representation — it’s the recognition that better care begins with broader perspectives.
At MCC, we believe our profession should reflect the people we serve. When every culture, background, and identity has a seat at the table, our impact extends far beyond the OR.
INCLUSION
Inclusion is how we turn diversity into progress.
We’re intentional about creating a space where every CRNA, SRNA, and student feels seen, supported, and celebrated.
Because when every voice is valued, innovation and compassion thrive side by side.
LEADERSHIP
Leadership in anesthesia isn’t just about skill — it’s about courage.
Our CRNAs are leading change in hospitals, classrooms, and communities, breaking barriers, shaping policy, and redefining what inclusive excellence looks like.
MCC exists to equip and empower those leaders — today and for generations to come.
Empowering diversity. Elevating inclusion. Inspiring leadership.
With its theme "Voices of Impact: Strengthening Communities through Inclusive Anesthesia Practice".
Rooted in the belief that inclusion fuels innovation, this initiative celebrates the transformative power of diverse voices in nurse anesthesia.
By uplifting historically underrepresented CRNAs and SRNAs, we foster a practice grounded in empathy, equity, and cultural intelligence.
As we strengthen communities through inclusive anesthesia care, we break down barriers, affirm identity, and build a future where every patient—and every provider—is seen, heard, and valued.
Together, we are shaping a healthcare landscape where representation saves lives and connection drives excellence.
