Dr. Yonnicka Curry, RRT

I am an experienced respiratory therapist with a strong background in mentoring, team training, and healthcare leadership. With extensive experience in ICUs, I specialize in critical care and thrive in leading teams in high-pressure environments to achieve the best patient outcomes.

My leadership approach is built on four key pillars: strategic vision, operational excellence, healthcare business expertise, and advanced respiratory care.

As a contributing author for the MBBCH Online Health Encyclopedia, I enjoy sharing practical insights on respiratory health and leadership to inspire excellence in healthcare.
