American Association for Respiratory Care
Quality Respiratory Care Recognition Award

Northeast Center for Special Care is honored to have received the American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC) Quality Respiratory Care Recognition Award for the years 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010.

Receiving the Association’s Quality Respiratory Care Recognition (QRCR) designation means our Ventilator and Respiratory Care Program meets strict safety and quality standards related to the provision of respiratory care services by qualified respiratory therapists. The AARC "Quality Respiratory Care Recognition” means you will receive "first rate care" at any program who has this award.

In order to be considered for the award a respiratory program must meet the following criteria:

All respiratory therapists employed by the hospital to deliver bedside respiratory care services are either legally recognized by the state as competent to provide respiratory care services or hold the CRT or RRT credential. Respiratory therapists are available 24 hours. Other personnel qualified to perform specific respiratory procedures and the amount of supervision required for personnel to carry out specific procedures is designated in writing. A doctor of medicine or osteopathy is designated as medical director of respiratory care services.

Northeast Center for Special Care has that and much more.  Besides being a state-of-art rehabilitation program we offer rehabilitation in a therapeutic community environment, a dedicated and caring staff of clinical professionals, stimulating activities, a history of impressive clinical outcomes and one of the highest weaning rates in the country.


You and your loved-one deserve the finest care and rehabilitation.  Northeast Center for Special Care is the clear choice for superior respiratory care.
