#GivingTuesday HEALTHCARE HERO: Brittany Brown, RRT

In my six-year career as a respiratory therapist at Gaylord, I have worked with patients who have COPD, lung cancer, asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia and many other cardiopulmonary diseases. Tracheostomies are common procedures at Gaylord that we care for on a daily basis.

Since the arrival of COVID, we are working extra diligently to make sure our patients are feeling safe, comfortable and able to breathe with ease. Many of these patients require respiratory services, whether it’s oxygen, inhaled medications and/or BiPAPs/CPAPs at night.

WE CARE FOR THESE PATIENTS JUST LIKE ANYONE ELSE. WE ARE NOT JUST SEEING THEM FOR THE DISEASE THAT BROUGHT THEM HERE, BUT FOR THE PERSON THEY ARE ON THE INSIDE.

COVID has definitely made tensions run high for everyone. As long as we stay focused with the task at hand, we can and will achieve great success. Thank you for your support.   DONATE
