The world needs more Respiratory Therapists
Do you know about the MoreRTs campaign? The NBRC, AARC and CoARC are working together to spread the word that the world needs more respiratory therapists. Here’s what you need to know:
Help Us Address the RT Shortage
The increasing shortage of respiratory therapists is a serious challenge for us all. Across the healthcare industry, we owe it to patients and their families – and to ourselves – to expand specialization in respiratory care and elevate the profession. Together, we can raise our voices to spread awareness and interest in the lifesaving field of respiratory therapy.
Resources for You
MoreRTs is also a great place to find a collection of resources, like informational webinars, recruitment and retention practices, Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA) resources, career ladders and more.
We Want to Hear Your Story
If you are a respiratory therapist – or a clinical colleague, educator or patient of a respiratory therapist – you can help us lead the way in shaping the future of the profession. Share with others your firsthand knowledge of respiratory therapy’s life-changing contributions, as we join together to meet the ongoing need to help the world breathe better – one patient at a time.
- SCSRC Bylaws Changes – Update January 17, 2026
Greetings from the SCSRC Board of Directors,
The changes to the SCSRC Bylaws that were sent to the AARC have been reviewed and approved.
The most significant change for this review involved the combining of the previously known Pee Dee region with the current Coastal region, so that we now have three regions.
The ballot for 2026 was rendered to reflect this change as well.
With appreciation for your support,
Selma B. Watson, RRT, CPFT, RCP

Call to Action! Join AARC Today!
As we make our resolutions to be better to ourselves … lets be better to our profession too!
The SCSRC wants you to be a part of SC’s Respiratory Care Leadership Team and invite you to become involved, starting at the local level. Then you may be inspired to follow in the footsteps of the late Trish Blakely, or Jackki Grimball and Brooke Yeager as part of the AARC’s Leadership Team.
Step 1: Join the AARC, the RT’s national professional organization, that is fighting to keep our jobs relevant and a vital part of the national healthcare discussion.
Most of you are already AARC members, but you can encourage your peers to join the AARC and participate in their local chapter of the SCSRC.
