PHIL Award: Nominate A Respiratory Therapist!

The PHIL Award (Pulmonary Health and Illness of the Lungs) was established by the FACES Foundation to recognize outstanding respiratory therapists who provide care and treatment for patients with respiratory illnesses. Sharman Lamka established The PHIL Award as part of The FACES Foundation after her husband, Philip C. Lamka, passed away from an Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD). Sharman wanted to establish a way of acknowledging the valuable role that respiratory therapists play in the lives of patients with life-threatening pulmonary illnesses.

The PHIL Award honors the ‘unsung heroes’ in the respiratory therapy profession who understand that each breath matters. Otsego Memorial Hospital takes pride in implementing The PHIL Award program to honor respiratory therapists.

Share your experience of outstanding care and treatment with us!

Please provide details of how a respiratory therapist has provided professional excellence and compassion in the education and care of a specific patient and/or family dealing with pulmonary illness.
