We’re thrilled to spend time today with a special guest who is not just a nurse anesthetist but also a passionate advocate for healthcare and community issues. Kellie Deeter, CRNA is currently running for a seat in the Ohio House of Representatives with a campaign focused on her extensive experience in the medical field and a commitment to public service. Join us as we hear about her journey, the vision she has for Ohio, and how her CRNA background has prepared her for politics.
Kelly's commitment to public service is evident in her advocacy for the CRNA community, having served as the government relations director for the Ohio State Association of Nurse Anesthetists for the past decade. Throughout the episode, Kelly's passion for healthcare and public service shines through. She discusses the personal impact of her campaign, including the support of her family and the transformative experience of running for office. Her story is a powerful reminder of the importance of caring deeply about the issues that matter and taking action to make a difference.
Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:
