National University’s Doctor of Nurse Anesthesiology Program is proud to congratulate Dr. Eric Kramer on being selected as the recipient of the 2026 Janice Drake Humanitarian Award from the AANA Foundation.
This award recognizes an individual who has gone above and beyond in service to the AANA Foundation, charitable organizations, the profession, and the broader community. Dr. Kramer’s selection reflects the qualities so many of us have seen firsthand: generosity, optimism, professionalism, volunteerism, and a deep commitment to advancing nurse anesthesiology.
Recognition at this level is not only a personal honor for Dr. Kramer, but also a point of pride for our entire National University DNAP community. His work, service, and dedication represent the best of what we hope to model for our faculty, graduates, and Nurse Anesthesiology Residents.
Dr. Kramer will be officially recognized with this award at the AANA Annual Congress in August, and he will be featured on the AANA Foundation’s Janice Drake CRNA Humanitarian Award page following the official presentation.
