Part-time Description The Respiratory Care Practitioner (aka Respiratory Therapist or RT) with Montefino does more than provide essential direct medical care to their patients.

RTs build meaningful relationships with the patient's loved ones, their care team, and most importantly, the patient to foster positive impacts on their daily lives. Montefino RTs follow established standards and procedures, provide supervision, care, support, and training to individuals with Developmental Disabilities. The position provides critical assistance to individuals with ADL's (activities of daily living). Effective RTs are organized, analyze situations accurately, take effective action, diligently follow directions, and communicate clearly and effectively.
