Whether treating newborns for breathing disorders, helping patients with asthma, or diagnosing sleep disorders, respiratory therapists help people breathe easier. Today, as President of the American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC), Respiratory Therapist John D. Hiser is passionate about his role in getting people the care they need. Students will be intrigued by Hiser's rewarding career, and many will be able to identify with him because when he was in high school, he didn't know what he wanted to be when he grew up.
