Circle of Care in Salem, Ohio offers respiratory therapists and 15 private rooms for ventilator/tracheostomy & pulmonary rehab. We’ve put together this article to share what makes Circle of Care unique and how we provide high-quality care for residents facing cardiovascular challenges.
History of Respiratory Therapy
Respiratory therapy has roots going back to 1943 when Dr. Edwin R. Levine established a primitive inhalation therapy program to manage post-surgical patients at Reese Hospital in Chicago, which turned into the Inhalation Therapy Association, or the ITA.
In 1986, the AARC (American Association for Respiratory Care) and the NBRC (National Board for Respiratory Care) were born, and we have our first modern licensure law governing the profession. Since its inception, respiratory care professionals have played a vital role in acute care and long-term care settings, providing excellent respiratory care practice backed by science.
