President’s Message

As we celebrate PeriAnesthesia Nurses Week (February 2 to February 8 ), OPANA is proud to recognize the extraordinary dedication and expertise that perianesthesia nurses bring to every stage of the patient journey. Our theme, “Excellence in Every Phase”, reflects the depth of skill, knowledge, vigilance, critical thinking and compassion that define our specialty from preoperative preparation to post anesthesia recovery and beyond.

This week is an opportunity not only to honour your contributions, but also to acknowledge the leadership, advocacy, innovation, and commitment to continuous learning that perianesthesia nurses bring to our healthcare system. OPANA is proud to stand beside you as we advance best practice, strengthen our community and champion the vital role we play in delivering safe, high-quality care.

Happy PeriAnesthesia Nurses Week!

Ingrid Daley, President
