CRNAs

CRNA's

Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) are an integral part of the Anesthesiology Consultants Exchange (ACE), a physician-owned group established in 1990. ACE proudly covers anesthesia services for the Erlanger Health System, including Erlanger Baroness Hospital, Children’s Hospital at Erlanger, and Erlanger East Hospital, as well as Tennova Healthcare Cleveland, located 30 minutes north of Chattanooga. Our team comprises over 110 skilled CRNAs working alongside 30 board-certified anesthesiologists in a collaborative care team model.

Our CRNAs bring diverse expertise and are crucial to delivering high-quality anesthesia care across a variety of settings, including pediatric, cardiac, obstetric, regional, and critical care anesthesia. ACE values the unique contributions of our CRNAs and is committed to fostering a supportive and engaging work environment. As a privately owned group, we emphasize a committee-driven approach, ensuring that CRNA leadership plays a vital role in decision-making processes alongside physician leaders and hospital committees. This structure helps maintain a high-quality workplace culture, promoting employee satisfaction and engagement within the team.

UTC/EHS School of Anesthesia

ACE has been the major support for the clinical component of the UTC/EHS School of Anesthesia since 1990. We are strong advocates of student nurse anesthetists (SRNA) and the training involved to produce quality certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs). The variety of challenges available through the Erlanger Health System and other institutions allow the SRNA’s clinical experience to be unequaled. We have been and will continue to be leaders in SRNA clinical education in the Southeastern region.
