Your job is more than a job.

\n

One-of-a-kind care comes from one-of-a-kind people. As a Respiratory Therapist, you believe in treating the whole person, and not just the disease or illness, going beyond nebulizers, inhalers and ventilators. Cardiopulmonary disorders are life-challenging and as a respiratory therapist, you understand arterial puncture or cannulation, artificial airway types and sizes, initial ventilatory settings for mechanical ventilation, ventilator changes based on established parameters and patient assignments to staff based on skills inventory. And as a compassionate human being, you empathize with the feeling of “I can’t breathe” from a child suffering with asthma to an elderly patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

\n

\n

Respiratory struggles can be debilitating exhausting, so you do more than administer treatment. You go beyond...calming anxiety, easing fear, and letting your inner light shine. Seeing your patients relax and smile after liberation and alleviation of respiratory distress is why you do what you do. And that’s what we love about you.

\n

\n

Your experiences, knowledge, skills, your empathy, compassion, personality, all of it adds up to you. And we’re excited to get to know you and find out what you’ll bring to this critical respiratory therapist role.
