New York City, New York Aug 1, 2023 (Issuewire.com) - Dr. Backus is a top respiratory therapist living in Fort Worth, Texas, and traveling the country as a healthcare professional in that field.
After 40 years in healthcare and 30 years in respiratory care science, she still possesses a passion and an unwavering commitment to the discipline. Dr. Backus is an expert in improving patients' lives and those of her coworkers, with experience implementing a collaborative and inclusive management style, promoting psychological workplace safety, and promoting value-based healthcare systems.
After graduating with respiratory credentials from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in 1994, she obtained her Bachelor of Arts degree from Philander Smith College in 2000. Dr. Backus went on to earn her Master of Business Administration degree from the University of the People in 2021. She then obtained her Doctor of Healthcare Administration degree from Virginia University, Lynchburg, in 2023.
An American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC) member, Dr. Backus is a credentialed National Board of Respiratory Care Practitioner (NBRC). It is a non-profit organization formed in 1960 to award and maintain credentialing for respiratory therapists in the United States.
Catching a second professional wind, Dr. Backus is diving into nontraditional healthcare opportunities and businesses dealing with education and expanding the reach of respiratory care science. These endeavors begin with her company in Fort Worth, Leaflove.com. - launching soon.
Other healthcare-centered entrepreneurial projects based in Fort Worth include product development and social entrepreneurship, as she invests time in endeavors to introduce the science of respiratory care to African countries and establish an international fellowship for nontraditional students in healthcare administration.
Holding fast to "never stop learning," Dr. Backus seeks to continue formal educational pursuits with a strong interest in corporate governance and board member responsibilities.
Respiratory therapy is the assessment and treatment of patients with both acute and chronic dysfunction of the cardiopulmonary system. Respiratory therapists are specialized healthcare practitioners trained in pulmonary medicine to work therapeutically with people suffering from pulmonary disease.
A prime example of a true leader in health care, Dr. Backus embodies the values of an unsatiated thirst for knowledge, honed innate leadership skills, and an unbridled desire to create socially responsible platforms.
She attributes her success to a combination of factors, including drawing inspiration from her mother's unparalleled work ethic, gaining valuable structure from her time as a soldier in the United States Army, and being driven by the desire to make her sons proud.
Among her philanthropic endeavors, Dr. Backus plans future involvement with YesWeCann.org, BrownWomanBlueWater.org, and ProjectRT.org.
In her personal life, she finds joy in various activities such as immersing herself in music, exploring new destinations through travel, indulging in home decorating projects, and being a sports enthusiast with a particular passion for basketball, football, and track and field.
