Respiratory Care Week is a week set aside annually during the last week of October by the
American Association for Respiratory Care. It has been nationally recognized since 1982. Its
purpose is to honor the respiratory care profession, promote respiratory health, increase
awareness of lung health issues, and to encourage those seeking education and career
opportunities in respiratory care. Locally, each respiratory care department in the various
hospitals and other facilities traditionally have their own celebrations and special events
honoring their respiratory therapists and also bringing attention to lung health issues.

Due to growing public scrutiny of health care and respiratory
care, in 1999 the AARC launched a Political Advocacy Contact
Team to advocate public policies that will have a positive
impact on the respiratory care community. PACT members
interact with local, state, and federal government officials on
public policies that affect our patients and our profession.
As an advocate for our members, the AARC does more than
simply “watchdog” issues. The AARC aggressively advocates
for the recognition of the value of respiratory therapy and
therapists in all areas of public policy.
Across the country each state has two PACT
representatives. These PACT representatives coordinate
PACT efforts within their state by communicating with state
PACT members as significant issues arise.
The AARC's goal is to have two respiratory therapists and
one patient contact in each of the 435 Congressional
Districts across the country.

| HAPPY 2012 Right now a Respiratory Therapist is saving a baby, giving an asthmatic a breathing treatment, helping a quadraplegic cough, breathing for someone using a vent, and pumping the heart of someone in cardiac arrest.. Right now, an RT is helping RN's and MD's save those who can be saved and ...those who can't die with dignity. |
