Welcome to the Georgia Society for Respiratory Care

The Georgia Society for Respiratory Care is an affiliate of the American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC). We are a professional society whose members are respiratory therapists in hospitals and with home care companies, managers of respiratory and cardiopulmonary services, and educators who provide respiratory care training in the state of Georgia. This site is dedicated to the professional development of respiratory therapists in Georgia and the patients they care for. Feel free to view our presidential address, browse the site and contact our team if you have questions or ideas.
