American Association for Respiratory Care

The Oregon Society for Respiratory Care (OSRC) is a chartered state affiliate of the American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC), connecting Oregon’s respiratory care community with the profession’s leading national organization.

Together, OSRC and AARC support respiratory therapists, educators, and students through professional education, advocacy, networking, and resources that advance respiratory care and strengthen patient outcomes.

AARC provides a national voice and broad professional resources, while OSRC brings that work home – addressing the opportunities, issues, and legislative priorities that matter most to respiratory care professionals throughout Oregon.
