As a Respiratory Therapist at Unity Point, I am responsible for assessing, treating, and monitoring patients with respiratory disorders. I play a critical role in the healthcare team, providing vital respiratory care to patients ranging from premature infants with undeveloped lungs to elderly patients with lung disease. My duties include performing diagnostic tests, bronchoscopies, managing ventilators and artificial airway devices, administering medications, and educating patients and families about lung diseases.

I received my Bachelor’s of Science in Respiratory Therapy with the honor of Summa Cum Laude from Weber State University.More...
