As the year comes to a close, RT Sidebar pauses to reflect, give thanks, and celebrate the people who make this community so special. This Holiday Edition is about gratitude—for the respiratory therapists who show up every shift, the guests who shared their stories, and the listeners who continue to support and inspire us.

This season reminds us that respiratory care is more than a profession—it’s a calling rooted in compassion, resilience, and service. Whether you’re at the bedside, teaching the next generation, or taking a well-earned moment to rest, we see you and appreciate you.

From our RT Sidebar family to yours, we wish you peace, rest, and connection this holiday season. Thank you for being part of our journey.

Stay Tuned for an exciting start to season 4: @AltheaNotah and Season 1 winner of “The Shift” @Sarah Sitar will kick off the year!
