Juneteenth marks the day news of emancipation finally reached enslaved people in Texas, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

That delay is part of why the day matters. Freedom and justice have not come equally or easily, and honoring this history means continuing the work.

For CRNAs and SRNAs, that work includes expanding access to safe anesthesia care, listening to the communities we serve, and advocating for systems that respect every patient's dignity.

Today, we reflect and recommit to a Texas where access, opportunity, and respect reach every community.

Becoming a CRNA requires years of education, doctoral-level coursework, and extensive clinical training. During that time, students are often unable to work while taking on significant educational and clinical training costs.

That's why AANA continues pursuing Congressional, Administrative, and legal advocacy against new federal student loan caps that could make it harder for qualified students to pursue CRNA education and ultimately reduce access to care.

Now, House lawmakers are raising concerns about the impact these caps could have on advanced nursing education and the future healthcare workforce.

This issue matters for students, for CRNAs, and for the patients who depend on access to care.

We're making progress, but the work isn't done.
