About the Role
As a Respiratory Therapist with Apria, you’ll support patients across the Pensacola, FL and Mobile, AL regions, with Birmingham as backup only in emergencies. This role is primarily office-based (90%), with occasional field visits to support patient needs. You’ll be the sole RT for this branch, offering both autonomy and the opportunity to make a strong impact on patient care.
This position requires both Florida and Alabama RT licenses. If you currently hold only a Florida license, Apria will cover the cost of obtaining the Alabama license.
