Weinhouse New Medical Director of Adult Respiratory Care Services
Gerald Weinhouse, MD, Pulmonary Division, in September was appointed medical director of adult Respiratory Care Services. In his new position, Weinhouse will work with the medical staff and respiratory therapists in the Intensive Care Unit to develop and refine clinical protocols.
“Providing respiratory therapists with the resources they need to continue delivering expert patient care is my top priority,” Weinhouse said.
Weinhouse meets weekly with respiratory therapists to review and refine clinical practices. He also participates twice a month in journal clubs, which allow respiratory therapists to discuss openly ideas, questions or concerns. In addition to maintaining clinical practice policy, Weinhouse plans to facilitate and encourage respiratory therapists to pursue their research interests.
“I’m excited to work with such a dynamic, enthusiastic group of individuals,” Weinhouse said.
