**2026 ASRC Conference Agenda is subject to change**

03/20/2026

In recognition of National Pulmonary Rehabilitation Week, we’re proud to highlight our new Pulmonary Rehab program at Mat-Su Regional Medical Center.

Respiratory Therapist Howdy Brown, joined by the cardiac/pulmonary rehab team, leads classes designed to help patients strengthen their lungs, build endurance, and improve quality of life.

Expanding services like Pulmonary Rehab means more patients in our community can access specialized care close to home.

As we continue our efforts to fundraise for the Alaska Society for Respiratory Care (ASRC) and move closer to achieving licensure for respiratory therapists in the state, we are seeking support from our fellow Alaskans—including RTs, vendors, business owners, community members, ANYONE willing.

We would greatly appreciate donations of items for our silent auction, which will be featured during the ASRC conference in May. These contributions will help raise funds to further our cause while also providing attendees with exciting auction items.
If you are interested in donating an item for the silent auction, please reach out to us via Facebook or contact Lindsey Gilday at 910-585-2323.

Your generosity and support are invaluable to the success of our mission.

Thank you in advance for helping us make a difference in the respiratory therapy community of Alaska.
