CSRC leaders advocate on Capitol Hill during AARC Fly-In
Washington D.C.-September 16, 2025. Members of the CSRC Board of Directors joined Respiratory Care Leaders from across the country to participate in the AARC Annual Fly-In.
This annual event brings together representatives from all 50 state societies to meet with lawmakers and advocate for patients and the respiratory care profession. During their visit to Capitol Hill, CSRC leaders met with California's congressional delegation to discuss legislation critical to respiratory care, including:- H.R.2902 The Supplemental Oxygen Access Reform (SOAR) Act
- H.R. 783- The Sustainable Cardiopulmonary Rehab Services Act
CSRC Leadership Storms Capitol Hill!
The CSRC had a very productive day in Washington D.C. this week. We held 30 meetings advocating for our patients and profession, specifically the Supplemental Oxygen Access Reform (SOAR) Act and the sustainable cardiopulmonary rehab services in the home act. Thank you all who have supported these two bills by writing your congressperson and supporting the CSRC!
Check out some if the images of our advocates on Capitol Hill.
CSRC 2026 Annual Conference
Thank you to all the attendees and vendors that attended the Annual Conference in Temecula this past week. With almost 700 attendees, 62 vendors, 100 vendor representatives, dozens of students and volunteers, the event was literally the biggest CSRC event in recent history. It was amazing and check out upcoming newsletters for more details on the conference.
If you missed out, look for details on next year's conference! Save the date and we will see you there.
CSRC Takes Home 1st Place at AARC’s Sputum Bowl!
The competition was fierce, but the team representing California and CSRC claimed the top prize at AARC’s conference in Orlando. It comes as no surprise that our talented members brought home the trophy, showcasing that California has some of the best RT students in the country.
The team, aptly named Big PEEP Energy, first demonstrated their skills at CSRC's annual conference last March in Temecula, where they outperformed other teams to earn their place at AARC. With their impressive showing there, they were confident heading into the national competition—and they certainly delivered!
We extend our heartfelt congratulations to the members of Big PEEP Energy—Dave Pugh, Nathalie Fino, Michelle Yanes, and Marlee Newlin—for their outstanding performance and for representing our state and association with excellence. Well done!
Questions about the CE requirements?
Take a look at this short from the January CSRC Town Hall, where the board explains the changes to CE requirements initiated by the Respiratory Care Board. Our next Town Hall meeting is on April 9th and is open to CSRC members. You will receive 1 leadership CE for attendance. Thank you for your membership and dedication to the field. We look forward to seeing you at our next meeting and please encourage your colleagues to join.
The CSRC PEEPs course is an individual 2-hour (4 leadership CE) on-line, asynchronous educational program designed to help make the transition from staff/team member to preceptor as well as refresh preceptor skills. This course utilizes a variety of adult teaching strategies and examples to assist in development as a preceptor. The intent of this course is to develop the skills of a preceptor in assisting students to acquire the experiences and skills necessary to successfully fill his/her future role as a member of the health care team. At completion of the course, 4 RCB approved leadership CEs will be issued to participants.
