My name is Dennis Maid, BSRT, RRT. I am the Cardiopulmonary Manager at Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital in Buffalo. I also continue a per diem position at Adirondack Medical Center. I have been a Respiratory Therapist now for 18 years and love the profession.
I earned my associate degree at Genesee Community College, a baccalaureate degree in Advanced Respiratory and a baccalaureate degree in Respiratory management. I am currently on the advisory board for Mohawk Valley Community college. I have had a great career and have been able to work in some amazing areas across the state as well as other states. I have worked with some outstanding departments and count many therapists among my friends. I am a proponent of advanced education. I feel that the profession will only grow if the education standards are brought into line with other professions. At this point in my career, I would like to give back by getting involved in the state association and help to continue moving the profession forward.
