A Day in the Life of a Respiratory Therapist

Respiratory Therapists at our facility assess and treat a wide range of respiratory conditions, tailoring care to each patient's specific needs from newborns to the elderly. Using the latest medical technologies, they administer therapies such as oxygen, medications, and ventilatory support, adhering to strict safety and hospital protocols. Collaboration is key; therapists work closely with an interdisciplinary team, including physicians and nurses, to integrate and optimize patient care plans. They are adept at functioning autonomously in high-pressure environments, making critical decisions quickly and accurately. Routine responsibilities include thorough documentation of treatments and outcomes, participating in clinical rounds, and engaging in ongoing education and support for patients and their families.

With 25 operating beds and $120 million in net patient revenues, CRMC has established itself as a key asset in the beautiful lake country of eastern Crow Wing County.

This healthcare system is a testimony to the positive, can-do spirit of its leadership, physicians, and staff. Working together, looking for ways to make things happen, they have established an integrated, 40-acre campus with a state-of-the-art hospital with technologically advanced surgical suites, advanced life support ambulance service, senior housing, and a long-term care facility. There are also three additional physician clinics in Baxter, Breezy Point and Longville. CRMC has 1,020 employees and an active medical staff of over 60 physicians and 23 advanced practice providers, which includes 15 surgeons and 45 primary care providers. More than 8,500 surgeries are performed annually at CRMC. The organization has a strong balance sheet with a solid operating margin and is the largest employer on the Cuyuna Range and the second largest employer in Crow Wing County. CRMC has been recognized nationally, regionally, and in the state for its excellence.
