Stop the Line

Stop the Line

In the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), "Stop the Line" empowers all staff to pause any process when safety, quality of care, or policy compliance is at risk—especially for our Veterans.

We call on anesthesiologists, surgeons, physicians, Veterans, and community leaders to stand with us in defending safe, physician-led anesthesia care for those who served.
