Comments from the nomination forms...

Since joining our team in 2023 in a 100% clinical role, Caroline has quickly progressed to provide care in our PICU, NICU, Progressive Care Unit and general care areas.  Her ability to remain calm under pressure and her thorough understanding of respiratory therapy have earned her the respect and admiration of her colleagues and patients alike.

Caroline’s combination of clinical expertise, dedication to patient care, and commitment to professional development makes her a standout candidate for the Future Leader Award. Her consistently positive presence and outstanding work ethic demonstrate her potential to shape the future of respiratory therapy. I strongly believe she is well-deserving of this recognition.

The Pennsylvania Society for Respiratory Care updates its look to emphasize its mission to Respiratory Therapists in our Commonwealth: Education, Research, Leadership.

Phoenixville, PA. – March 8, 2024– The Pennsylvania Society for Respiratory Care, Inc. (PSRC), the premier advocate for respiratory therapists and respiratory therapy professionals, unveiled their refreshed logo exemplifying their core values: Education, Research, and Leadership.   

Eileen Censullo, President of the PSRC and leader at the American Heart Association, remarked, “Changing our logo was important to me and the board to freshen the look and emphasize what we focus on as Respiratory Therapists as a board and as practitioners in the state. Respiratory Therapists are the premier leaders in Respiratory education, research, and leadership in the state of PA. We held a contest in the PSRC membership to submit logos and the logo was voted on by the membership. It is crisp and clean. “

 

Jerin Juby, Vice-President of the PSRC and a faculty member at Thomas Jefferson University, said, “We have been evolving, and it was time for us to refresh our looks. And furthermore, we asked our members to design the logo, which not only highlighted talent but also supported a refresh of our vision and mission amongst our members. We hold utmost pride in representing one of the most amazing professions in healthcare.”
