After working as a respiratory therapist in both acute and home care spaces, Susan’s passion for delivering exceptional home-respiratory services drove her to co-found Island Respiratory Specialists (IRS) in 2000. IRS became the only Island-owned home-respiratory company in PEI. Susan is proud to be a leader in a company committed to providing personalized and quality service to clients across PEI.

With over 30 years of experience as a respiratory therapist, Susan provides expert knowledge and care to her patients and has grown to be a trusted healthcare professional within the community. In her spare time, Susan enjoys quilting, reading, and spending time with her family.

Monica has been working in the home care setting as a respiratory therapist since 2011 and brings a wealth of experience to the IRS team.
