How a CRNA-led anesthesia group plans to grow: 5 key notes

Two certified registered nurse anesthetists, Frank Grasso, CRNA, and Kyle Griffith, CRNA, founded G & G Anesthesia and they're preparing for growth, according to a River Bender report.

Here are five key notes:

1. The company was founded to focus on the CRNA while also employing anesthesiologists; G & G Anesthesia includes 15 CRNAs and three anesthesiologists. It's among the only CRNA-owned anesthesia groups in the country.

2. The anesthesiologists serve as medical directors of the group while CRNAs work independently on all types of cases.

3. The G & G Anesthesia clinical sites also train current nursing and medical students, giving them an opportunity to work in the CRNA-owned group. Both founders graduated from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville's nurse anesthesia program, which is now a doctor of nursing practice program.

4. The group is working with SIUE to develop a corporate agreement for employees to enroll in the post-master's program with the support of the practice.

5. The practice founders are planning to expand their model into pain management, according to the report.
