Texas Society of Anesthesiologists

The TSA is deeply saddened by the senseless tragedy in Uvalde, TX. We send our prayers to the families of those killed, to the survivors, and to the heroes including the healthcare professionals in Uvalde and beyond. The hearts of TSA members hurt for those that have suffered the incomprehensible loss of a family member or child. Words will never be enough to heal. As Texas Anesthesiologists we stand by ready, willing, and able to help the injured in their time of need. The TSA condemns acts of violence and encourages our citizens and government officials to pursue effective steps that lessen the scourge of violence on our State and Country.

TSA President Dr. Crystal Wright

Happy New Year and Warmest Greetings as we begin 2022!

As we embark upon this new year, I know the challenges of the past year are still among us. As a medical community, we find ourselves with a continued threat of COVID 19, as the Omicron variant causes abrupt shifts and increased hospitalizations, during an already high patient volume season for many. My thoughts and prayers are with you all as we continue to provide the highest quality patient care during this time of uncertainty, despite the challenges.
