Lung disease is one of the biggest killers in our society and the world. Lung disease is also one of the most debilitating health conditions by confining millions to a life burdened with portable oxygen, limiting people from taking trips further than the grocery store, and limiting them from walking more than a few steps before getting out of breath.

Surprisingly it is not caused by smoking alone. Every person from every walk of society will at some point in his or her life develop some form of lung condition. This condition may be a simple touch of pneumonia, or a bout with asthma. It may be atelectasis after surgery, or apnea during surgery.

The team of people dedicated to improving the lives of people everywhere are RESPIRATORY THERAPISTS. As a rule of thumb, the less and less you see of the RT, the better and better you must be. RESPIRATORY THERAPISTS are the unsung members of the medical profession working with patients of all ages, from birth and deliveries to death.

This site is dedicated to the professional development of respiratory therapists, and the patients they care for. Feel free to surf around the site and email our team if you have questions or ideas.
