OUR TEAM
Collaborative Teams for Stronger Breathing Care.
Clinical respiratory care requires a multidisciplinary team of caregivers and stakeholders working together to support patients with complex respiratory conditions. Each member contributes specialized knowledge, hands-on expertise, and coordinated communication to ensure patients breathe easier and live healthier.
At Olidia Respiratory, we emphasize collaboration between medical professionals, caregivers, and families to create seamless, patient-centered care. This team approach ensures safety, independence, and improved outcomes across home, clinic, and long-term care settings.
-
RESPIRATORY THERAPISTS (RTs)
Respiratory therapists are the cornerstone of clinical respiratory care, providing direct therapy, equipment management, and patient education.
They assess lung function, administer treatments, and ensure ventilator or oxygen systems are used safely and effectively. RTs also train families and facility staff to manage daily respiratory routines confidently.
Their involvement ensures continuity of care across hospital, home, and long-term care environments.
-
PULMONOLOGISTS
Pulmonologists diagnose and manage chronic and acute respiratory conditions such as COPD, asthma, and sleep apnea.
They collaborate with respiratory therapists to prescribe treatments and adjust care plans based on patient progress. Pulmonologists also review diagnostic data from sleep studies, ventilator monitoring, and imaging.
Their role anchors respiratory care in medical expertise and ensures treatment aligns with the latest clinical standards.
-
PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS (PCPs)
Primary care physicians play a vital role in coordinating respiratory care within the patient’s overall health plan.
They identify early warning signs, manage comorbidities, and ensure referrals to specialists when needed. PCPs work closely with both pulmonologists and respiratory therapists to avoid gaps in care.
Their broad oversight ensures respiratory health is integrated into the patient’s total well-being.
-
NURSES AND CLINICAL STAFF
Nurses provide hands-on support in administering medications, monitoring oxygen levels, and ensuring patient comfort.
They act as the daily link between physicians, respiratory therapists, and patients. Nurses are trained to recognize early signs of respiratory distress and escalate care when necessary.
Their constant presence makes them an essential partner in maintaining safe, responsive respiratory care.
-
FAMILY CAREGIVERS
Families play a central role in supporting respiratory patients at home.
They assist with medication administration, monitor equipment, and reinforce therapies prescribed by clinical teams.
Family caregivers also provide emotional support, which is critical for patients managing chronic conditions. Their collaboration with healthcare professionals ensures daily routines are consistent and effective.
-
LONG-TERM CARE FACILITY STAFF
In nursing homes and rehab centers, facility staff partner with respiratory specialists to deliver hospital-level care in residential settings.
They oversee equipment use, manage emergency protocols, and ensure compliance with safety standards.
Facility staff work with therapists and physicians to reduce unnecessary hospital transfers. Their role ensures residents with complex respiratory needs remain stable and safe within their living environment.
