“Hearing their voices after all their trauma ….” 😭
Why do YOU do what you do ?

During , we celebrate the moments that make RTs’ work so meaningful.

Monaghan Medical's Jeff Cowgill recalls helping long-term ventilator-dependent patients regain strength in the ICU: Due to the coordinated care from multidisciplinary teams, patients were gradually transitioned off ventilators and O₂ therapy, and eventually learned to use a speaking valve to talk again.

"Hearing their voices after all their trauma was unforgettable. These are the moments that remind us why RTs do what they do."

As Respiratory Therapists, our work reaches far beyond inpatient care. 🫁✨

We’re at the bedside helping patients breathe through critical moments, but we’re also an essential part of pulmonary diagnostics, sleep medicine, rehabilitation, transport, research, and so much more. Respiratory care is a dynamic field—and to truly make an impact, we must keep growing right alongside it.

That’s why continuing education matters. Attending conferences, networking with other professionals, and learning about different specialties opens doors and strengthens our ability to provide exceptional care. The more we learn, the more we can advocate, innovate, and elevate our profession.

Let’s stay curious, keep learning, and show the world just how vital RTs are across the continuum of care. 💪
