“ It’ s a shame that patients are having to do without it,” Robin adds.“ We’ re on a mission to bring awareness and help our leaders recognize the true cost of delivering liquid oxygen safely.”
The future of home respiratory care
Looking ahead, Robin sees a system that will depend more than ever on home respiratory care as the population ages and people live longer with chronic disease. She expects companiesike Rotech to absorb
more of the work once done in hospitals, and she is betting on technology, automation, and smarter data use to make that shift sustainable.
The president and CEO is clear that policy must evolve alongside technology. Payment models must recognize the complexity of therapies like liquid oxygen and the value respiratory clinicians bring in keeping fragile patients out of the hospital. Her recent recognition as the 2025 HME Woman of the Year, Robin reflects, is less about personal visibility than about standing in for the thousands of people behind Rotech’ s mission.“ I feel like I’ m there representing many people behind me,” Robin reflects.“ It motivates me.” ■
