The AARC government affairs and advocacy team tracks important issues and often comments on policies that can impact the profession. We keep respiratory therapists and the value they bring to the health care system at the forefront of the minds of Federal policymakers.
This page gives an overview of current federal policies impacting respiratory therapists and their patients plus any comments or letters the AARC has submitted.
