Officers

My name is Dana Mariano and I am the Director of Periop Services at Forbes Hospital/AHN. I am the current Treasurer of the AORN Pittsburgh Chapter and have served on the Board of Directors, previously, for the past 4 years. I am a certified OR Nurse (CNOR), a certified Perianesthesia Nurse (CAPA), and a certified Central Sterile Technician (CRCST). In addition to AORN, I belong to the Association of Nurse Leaders (AONL), the American Society of Perianesthesia Nurses (ASPAN), and the Healthcare Sterile Processing Association (HSPA). This year will be my 32nd year as a nurse. I have been in periop services for 26 of these years. Periop Services is my love, and Central Sterile Processing is my passion.

AORN Pittsburgh is a diverse group of nurses leading the way to bridge gaps in practice and allowing us to network with our peers across our Pittsburgh hospitals and beyond. Please join us to share your best practices and have some fun along the way. We are a growing community that has our patients at the center of all that we do. Hope to see you soon!
