Ask Congress to Support Respiratory Therapists! |
The American Association for Respiratory Care is a strong advocate for respiratory therapists, the respiratory care profession, and patients who suffer from chronic respiratory disease.
For our 2022 advocacy campaign, the AARC supports legislation that improves patient access to pulmonary rehabilitation services and to r espiratory therapists who are experts in providing education and exercise t hat are essential components of the program. In addition to individuals dia gnosed with moderate, severe, and very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the Medicare program has extended coverage of pulmonary re habilitation services to include individuals who have had confirmed or susp ected COVID-19 and experience persistent symptoms that include respiratory dysfunction for a least 4 weeks. Now, more than ever, it is important that we improve access and utilization of these vital programs.
