Respiratory Therapy
At the North Shore-LIJ Health System, we pride ourselves on providing state-of-the-art respiratory care to our patients. Our Respiratory Therapy Team continually strives to improve the lives of our patients not only by administering respiratory therapy treatment, but also by understanding the purpose behind each treatment and all possible side effects.
As a Respiratory Therapist, you will perform therapeutic procedures such as airway management, tracheal suctioning and arterial punctures in addition to caring for patients on ventilatory support, aerosolized medications, chest physiotherapy and bland aerosols. You will have the opportunity to confer with various individuals in different specialties as you evaluate the effectiveness of therapy for each assigned patient. As part of this dynamic team, you will receive exposure to vastly different cases and demonstrate the knowledge and skills necessary to provide care to patients of all ages, ranging from neonatal to the elderly.
If you are interested in pursuing a career in respiratory therapy, we invite you to become part of our team today.
