Today, our CRNAs continue to be respected and valued members of our team, continuing to provide the highest level of care to our patients.

Heather Danke, DNAP
CRNA, Mayo Clinic in Arizona
“From starting as a “Summer III” Nurse Intern in Rochester to advancing as an ICU Nurse, SRNA, and CRNA—ultimately earning a DNAP through Mayo Clinic—I am a testament to Mayo's unwavering commitment to education and growth. CRNAs at Mayo Clinic not only deliver exceptional care but also embody the spirit of lifelong learning, mentorship, and leadership, empowering the next generation of anesthesia providers.”
Jamison Clower, D.N.P.
CRNA Supervisor, Mayo Clinic in Florida
“It is a true privilege to work beside CRNAs who are dedicated to delivering exceptional patient care while pursuing opportunities to advance education and research—fostering innovation and knowledge across the profession. They also generously share their expertise on mission trips around the world each year, bringing care and compassion to underserved communities. These efforts exemplify the spirit of collaboration, innovation, and excellence that underpin everything we do and embody our core mission and values.”
JP Moyle, D.N.P.
CRNA, Mayo Clinic in Arizona
“I was drawn to Mayo Clinic because of its strong culture of teamwork, mutual respect, and an unwavering commitment to putting the patient first. As a CRNA, I’m often reminded of this during complex cases where multidisciplinary teams collaborate seamlessly, each voice valued and focused on the best outcome for the patient. In those moments – when expertise, compassion, and collaboration come together – I’m reminded exactly why I wanted to work at Mayo Clinic.”
Daniel Butts, APRN
CRNA, Mayo Clinic in Florida
“Although it has been more than 10 years since I graduated from CRNA school, I still vividly remember the nervous feelings and stress of starting clinicals. It is for this reason that I have consistently sought out and enjoyed opportunities to serve as a preceptor to our learners. I want to be an educator who makes learning exciting and highlights for the learner their growth and development. I try to encourage everyone to seek out challenging learning opportunities and not be afraid of them. I strongly believe that it is through overcoming challenges that we grow and learn the most.”
