POSSIBLE CHANGES TO THE RESPIRATORY PROFESSION - PLEASE READ

POSSIBLE ADVANCEMENT FOR THE RESPIRATORY PROFESSION

We have introduced bills in the US House of Representatives and the US Senate that would allow qualified RT’s to work outside of the hospital and to provide care for our patients similar to the way that PA’s and ARNP’s provide care. This is an amazing opportunity for the Respiratory profession and will GREATLY IMPROVE THE PATIENT’S ACCESS TO RESPIRATORY THERAPY SERVICES!!!

WE NEED YOUR HELP!!! PLEASE ACT NOW!!!

Your congressmen and senator needs to hear from you. Below are two links. One will take you to a page that will allow you to fill in your information and send a pre-written letter to your Congressman, and the other link will provide the same service but send it to your Senator. This will only take a couple of minutes to complete. It was these letters that last year helped to pass the Pulmonary Rehabilitation legislation.
