Shanna Angel's undergraduate work at University of Utah led her to the anesthesia program at UCLA where she graduated in 1989. She is a Board Certified Registered Nurse Anesthesiologist, a member of the American Association of Nurse Anesthesiology, and has served on an Advisory Panel of the American Society of Ketamine Physicians. At Kaiser Permanente in Los Angeles, she performed anesthesia for thousands of cardiovascular, obstetrical, orthopedic, and neurological cases for 11 years. During her time at UCLA and Kaiser she raced for Helen's Cycles and won world, national, and state championship titles, including a World Champion Rainbow Jersey in Austria. In 2000 she began mountaineering and moved to a critical access facility at the base of Mount Rainier. This is where she began a 20-year solo anesthesia practice. During this time, she began a family, ran a yoga studio, and founded the first hospital-based IV ketamine infusion program in Washington State. Shanna holds certifications in Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support, Pediatric Advanced Life Support, and Basic Life Support. Her hobbies are skiing, cycling, knitting, playing the piano and cello, and cooking. Her ketamine infusion skills have had a huge impact on her community in Washington, and she is excited to bring those skills to the Wood River Valley.
Since 2016, we’ve provided thousands of IV ketamine infusions for depression, anxiety, and other mental health challenges. The breadth of our background is unmatched in the region, and patients forego their local clinics around the country to do their infusions with us in Sun Valley. IV Ketamine Infusion Therapy is the only thing we do. If you are looking for a dedicated and uniquely skilled specialist, look no further.
