The American Association for Respiratory Care ( AARC ) is a nonprofit organization and is the only professional organization that supports Respiratory Care in the United States. In addition to trying to help lobby law that benefits nationally and locally, the AARC seeks to promote the profession as a whole in order to increase interest and membership. The AARC began in 1943, as a Inhalation Technician Association and has evolved rapidly and repeatedly ever since.
