Alice Hubbell, CRNA
I
grew up in a small town in northern West Virginia. After high
school, I attended nursing school at Kent State University in Ohio
and graduated in 1979 with a Bachelors of Science in Nursing
degree. My initial work experience included medical surgical floor
nursing, ICU and surgical nursing, which led to my decision to
become a CRNA. I graduated from the Ohio State University Nurse
Anesthesia program in 1985, and have worked with anesthesia groups
in Columbus, OH, Austin, TX, and Greensboro, NC prior to moving to
Atlanta. Working in these various settings has provided me with
great experience in many areas of anesthesia and surgery.
My husband David is also in the medical field. Outside of work, we
enjoy cooking, traveling, hiking and water sports. We are active
members of our local church. The remainder of our free time is
spent tending my flowers and spoiling our dog.

I was born at Fort Stotsenberg,
Philiipine Islands. My father was in the United States Army, which
gave me the opportunity to immigrate to the United States in 1951.
I was naturalized a U. S. Citizen four years later.
I attended the University of Texas for my nursing program, and my
clinical training was completed at Brackenridge Hospital in Austin,
Texas. I worked in the Operating Room at JohnSealy Hospital,
Galveston Texas for two years. In 1957, I received a commission of
First Lieutenant in the United States Air Force. I was stationed at
Mt. Home AFB, Idaho. It was there I met my husband who was then a
B-47/B-52 pilot. I was accepted to Flight Nursing School, but I
opted for marriage instead.
Upon my husbands return from Viet Nam, I decided to go back to
school on the GI Bill benefit. I attended Harris Memorial Hospital
School of Anesthesia and graduated in 1973.

since.
