Micah Reece, DNP, CRNA

Micah Reece, DNP, CRNA, joined the Amberwell Surgical Care team in June 2020. Micah was a critical care nurse for three years before earning his Doctor of Nursing Practice. He joined Amberwell Atchison with four years’ experience as a CRNA and exceptional talent in anesthesia. One of Micah’s favorite aspects of being a CRNA is tailoring individualized anesthetic to each of his patients and catering to each individual patient’s unique needs.

Pursuing a career in nursing seemed a natural fit for Micah as his mother was an RN. While growing up, Micah was accustomed to having a steady stream of people at his house asking his mother to clean up cuts and scrapes or asking questions about medications. While serving as a critical care nurse, his interactions with nurse anesthetists influenced him to continue his education and become a CRNA.

“I love how anatomy, pathophysiology, chemistry, and pharmacology impacts anesthetic and ensures that no two patients are the same. Tailoring an individualized anesthetic to each of my patients is one of my favorite parts of the job.”

On being patient-centered…

At Amberwell Health, we focus on patient-centered care. We ask each of our providers to tell us what being patient-centered means to them personally.

“To me, patient-centered means that the unique needs of each patient guide all clinical decisions,” said Micah, “and that the patient is an active participant in their health care.”

On choosing Amberwell…

“I want to work in a setting where I can utilize every aspect of my training. At Amberwell, I can do that as part of a close-knit team that puts patients first within an organization well-positioned for growth. The people I have met thus far have been incredible, and I’m very excited to contribute to such a strong group.”
