A respiratory therapist (RT) helps diagnose, treat and manage conditions that affect your lungs. They perform tests and evaluations, manage ventilators, administer oxygen and medication, and work alongside physicians and other healthcare providers to develop treatment plans to help restore or maintain lung and breathing function. They are an often overlooked, but nonetheless essential part of a patient's care team.
This Respiratory Care Week we also wanted to take a moment to spotlight Rural Sleep Solutions, who we partner with to provide our patients with in-hospital and at-home sleep studies. Thank you for partnering with us to help us provide diagnostic Sleep Studies to our rural community!
