What is Respiratory Therapy?

The need for respiratory therapists is expected to grow by about 35% in the coming years due to factors such as large increases in the elderly population and environmental issues that contribute to the yearly rise in asthma and other respiratory illnesses.

Respiratory therapists save lives every day. Whether they are participating in CPR or administering therapy that allows patients to breathe easier, therapists make life better for those around them. Do you want to save lives, too?
