A group of student registered nurse anesthetists (SRNAs) and certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) from UPMC Presbyterian again participated in the Annual Tunch and Wolf’s Walk for the Homeless on May 26, 2018 at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh (hosted by sportscasters and former Steelers Tunch Ilkin and Craig Wolfley). Proceeds from this 10K walk along the North Shore trail 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.
This is the eighth consecutive year a CRNA/SNRA group from UPMC Presbyterian has participated in the walk, providing basic first aid to walkers and sponsors and conducting blood pressure and pulse oximeter 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. CRNA Leanna Madich’s family also helped with basic first aid and participated in the walk.
