CHOOSE ONE: Every Breath Counts

A Campaign to Give Back to the Profession of Respiratory Care

As a credentialed respiratory care practitioner, you understand the lifesaving connections between your work and patient advocacy organizations that share your goal of saving and improving lives. Through the CHOOSE ONE: Every Breath Counts campaign, the NBRC Board of Trustees invites you to join us and your fellow practitioners in making a collective difference: helping to fund research and patient advocacy in many areas of respiratory care.

NBRC credentialed practitioners have contributed since the CHOOSE ONE program was unveiled on October 9, 2019.

How It Works

Through this give-back initiative, you can let your credentials help change the world for the better – and it actually costs you nothing extra to participate. That’s because we’ve built the entire program into our annual credential maintenance fee.

Every year, we will donate a portion of your credential maintenance fee to the patient advocacy organization of your choice. We will select three new organizations for you to choose from each year. When you receive your invoice for the annual credential maintenance fee (or annual support, for those who are not subject to credential maintenance), you will be asked to choose an organization to support.
