Student registered nurse anesthetists (SRNAs) and certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) from UPMC Presbyterian participated in the Tunch and Wolf Walk for the Homeless on June 11, 2016 in Pittsburgh. Proceeds from the walk benefit the Light of Life Rescue Mission, a charity that provides homes for the homeless and food for the hungry, and helps people suffering from addiction and abuse.
CRNA/SNRA groups from UPMC Presbyterian have participated in the walk for the past six years, providing basic first aid to walkers and sponsors and conducting blood pressure screenings at the event. The volunteer group also treated minor burns and lacerations, provided sun block and water, and triaged more involved injuries to the EMS crew at the walk. Some group members also walked to help raise funds.
