Respiratory Care Week 2021 will take place on October 24-30. The AARC team is gearing up for a time of celebrating some of the best in health care. We are excited to provide you with plenty of opportunity to plan a great RC Week celebration for your team.
This year’s theme is ‘Respiratory Therapists: Resilience, Strength, Hope.’
Respiratory Care Week is the one week out of the year where the attention is solely focused on respiratory therapists! For over a year now, respiratory therapists have been on the front lines more than usual. COVID-19 has forced RTs into new territory and into the media like never before.
So many RTs have worked countless hours away from their loved ones, risked their personal health and the health of their families, traveled across the United States to assist in COVID-19 surge cities, and so much more. Some RTs have even lost their own lives in the fight to keep others healthy. Take the time to make sure your team feels celebrated and encouraged during this year’s RC Week.
