Respiratory Care
Respiratory therapists are health care professionals who are committed to promoting and maintaining respiratory health. They care for everyone from premature infants to the elderly. They help people breathe who need help and, using highly technical equipment, breathe for those who cannot breathe on their own.
Respiratory therapists also help to diagnose and treat respiratory illness. Through medication delivery and many other therapies, respiratory therapists help those with respiratory illness heal.
To contact a respiratory therapist, call (615) 936-4349.
