Respiratory Therapist - VieMed Healthcare Staffing

Respiratory Therapist

 

We are a growing respiratory company specializing in treating the most challenging respiratory patients inside the home by pairing the best-in-class technology & equipment with the clinical care of a full-time Respiratory Therapist. Our mission is to educate, nurture, and inspire our patients to lead better lives.

Our Disease Management program has earned national attention, making us the number one independent ventilation provider in the United States. In recent random studies of our patient population, we have shown a 30-day COPD re-admission rate of 5.7% compared to the industry average of 20-22%*. Over 93% of our patients share that they actually “Breathe Better” on our treatment program!

We are currently experiencing explosive growth throughout the country! We are actively seeking dynamic RTs to join our VieMed family. This remote based position enables a self-motivated clinician to work autonomously, acting as an active member of the clinical care team as a patient and company advocate. If you are self-motivated, energetic, and patient centric, Viemed could be the company for you!
