What is your role at RR?
Respiratory Therapist
What does your role entail?
My primary responsibility is to teach, run virtual appointments, and guide remote equipment setups over the phone. Additionally, I’ll often travel to patient’s homes and assist with their home ventilator setups.
We will provide the therapy option(s) that doctor prescribes, but we also pay attention to the unique needs of each patient and ensure that they are accommodated.
I am bilingual, and that has expanded my ability to provide care to a broader community of patients.

What do you like most about RR?
There’s more of a human element working at RR compared to working in a hospital. The ability to have a meaningful effect on someone’s life, even through an appointment that may only last 30 mins to 2 hours, is extremely satisfying. Through follow up appointments, you develop a bond and trust with your patients that is very rewarding.
