Respiratory Care Week is Oct. 20-26, and it’s a great chance to reach out to your community, patients, and colleagues, and share your story. Let them know about the many unique benefits and care respiratory therapists bring each day to their patients.

Start planning now

Join with your colleagues to celebrate this annual event that recognizes the respiratory care profession and raises awareness for improving lung health around the world. This year’s theme is: OURTEAM CARES.

No matter where you work—from neonatal-pediatrics to acute care and more—you save lives and dedicate yourself to improving lung health for all patients because you care.
