Lauren began her career in the field of Respiratory Care during a week many of us remember, The Blizzard of “78”. This was at Worcester City Hospital, followed by some years at Newton Wellesley Hospital, both wonderful foundations for adult care. Currently at Children's Hospital, Boston for 25 years, Lauren specializes in the respiratory care of infants and children.

Lauren joined the MSRC in 2001 and has served as Vice President. She chairs the Perinatal and Pediatric Committee which hold meetings to bring therapists together from throughout New England working with infants and children as a forum for them to share their experiences. Beginning in January of 09 Lauren will begin the three year presidency tour(President Elect, President and Past President).

Happy National Respiratory Care Week!

Congratulations to the 2008 MSRC Therapist of the Year
