Lois Marie Wygonik is a retired Certified Registered Nurse and Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner at Florida Anesthesia Associates in Winter Haven, Florida, which specializes in superb, caring and dedicated healthcare.
She spent 56 years in the field of nursing and anesthesia, and currently continues to serve the field by working with aspiring nurses as a Professor Emeritus until being transferred to Florida, Lois taught Anesthesia to students (1983) at the Allegheny Valley Hospital in Natrona Heights, Pennsylvania.

The magazine is created to discuss the Nurse Anesthetists' events, scientific data and findings and features on highlighted members of the association from Pennsylvania.
"The key to my success is being a survivor after brain surgery, which left me with many temporary and permanent problems," Lois said. "My advice to those entering the field is to be a dedicated healthcare worker."
After earning her Nursing Degree in 1960 at Butler Memorial Hospital, Lois became a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist from Allegheny Valley Hospital (Natrona Heights, FL) in 1962 and completed her Bachelor's Degree of Science in Nursing in 1974 at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

When not working, Lois enjoys rescuing animals and collecting exotic birds, as well as reading, and doing home renovations. She dedicates this recognition to the loving memory of her mother, Stella Tomaszewski Wygonik, as well as to Betty Augustino, CRNA and to Betty Soisson, CRNA, who is missed very much.
