Respiratory Care…
a Life and Breath Career for You!
You can live without food for a few weeks, without
water for a few days, but you cannot live without
air for more than a few minutes. Breathing is your
most immediate need.
Most people take breathing for granted. For
thousands of people who suffer from breathing
problems, breathing is a struggle and each breath
is an accomplishment.
