Respiratory Therapists are health care professionals specialized in evaluating, treating, and educating patients with cardiopulmonary disorders.

Our respiratory team consists of over 60 nationally registered respiratory therapists that are certified with neonatal resuscitation program, advanced cardiovascular life support, pediatric advanced life support, and basic life support and in addition holding advanced practice credentials including neonatal pediatric specialties and adult critical care specialties.  Our therapists are extensively trained at time of hire with a 90 day orientation, working with and supported closely with experienced peers from our unit based council and respiratory team.  The respiratory department works with a team of doctors and nurses following evidence based physician driven protocols to provide the most advanced quality care to our patients.
