The 4th Annual Wake-Up for Wellness
Fun 5k Walk/Run
was held Monday, August 10, 2009 

For the fourth year in a row, AANA Annual Meeting participants woke-up early and joined together to exercise and enjoy each others' company.  Almost 500 CRNAs, student nurse anesthetists, families and friends of all ages ran or walked the 5k route along the San Diego Bay Boardwalk and through both North and South Embarcadero Marina Parks. 

Join us in Seattle, Wash. for the

Another wellness activity - the Wellness Exhibit at Annual Meeting was a bit hit! 
Attendees enjoyed taking a spin on the "Wellness Wheel" for challenging wellness questions (everyone won) and
taking a turn on the relaxing foot massagers!
