In this feature, CRNA and co-founder Mike Bergeson shares why Elite Anesthesia was created—and how it’s changing the way providers work. With years of experience in traditional systems, Mike saw the need for a new model—one that prioritizes autonomy, clinical excellence, and provider well-being.

From building the company’s foundation to still working cases himself, Mike’s perspective is both visionary and practical. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be part of something built by providers, for providers—this is a great place to start.
