We are honored, humbled, and deeply grateful to announce that Monaghan Medical Corporation has once again been recognized by the American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC) with the prestigious Zenith Award – our 10th win in 11 years.
The Zenith award is described as the “people’s choice” award in the respiratory care industry because recipients are directly chosen by respiratory therapists themselves – a recognition of the trust we’ve built within the respiratory care community.
What the AARC Zenith Award Represents
The AARC Zenith Award honors manufacturers, service organizations and suppliers that demonstrate outstanding support of the respiratory‐care profession. To be eligible, organizations must show “multifactorial engagement” with the AARC’s mission to develop, support, and advance the respiratory care profession.
The Zenith award reflects the opinions of those who work directly with respiratory devices in clinical practice, which is why this recognition is so meaningful to us. It demonstrates that our company has earned trust, delivered value, and built genuine partnerships with the people and healthcare providers we serve.
Why Respiratory Therapists Continue to Place Their Trust in Monaghan
The trust respiratory therapists place in Monaghan comes from years of shared experience—listening, collaborating, and solving problems together. From product innovation and clinical research to hands-on education and responsive support, our partnership with the respiratory-care community guides everything we do.
We are united in a shared purpose: to help patients breathe easier and improve quality of life through reliable, evidence-based technology.
Commitment to product excellence and innovation: We have long focused our research, development, and manufacturing efforts on respiratory devices that help manage acute and chronic pulmonary illnesses such as asthma and COPD. That focus means our products are designed not merely for function—but for workflow, patient outcomes, and usability in a clinical setting.
Strong customer/clinician-centric service and partnership: The criteria for the Zenith Award emphasize accessibility, helpfulness, service responsiveness, and being a genuine partner—not just a vendor. Monaghan’s repeated recognition (10 of 11 years) underscores our consistent ability to listen and respond to the respiratory-care community’s needs—not only at the point of sale but throughout the lifecycle of care. Our team’s dedication to support and service is clearly recognized by the healthcare community, and that trust has grown over years.
Honest, transparent communication and integrity: In a market where device claims can sometimes exceed deliverables, the “truth in advertising” criterion is especially meaningful. Monaghan’s repeated wins suggest that respiratory therapists believe in what we say, and that we deliver on our promises. That kind of trust is hard-won.
It means that when we say “we will” or “we can,” clinicians believe it—and that builds deeper loyalty and longer‐term partnerships.
Active support of the respiratory-care profession: Beyond products and service, the award honors companies that commit to the profession itself: supporting the clinicians, the associations, the education, the patients. Monaghan has aligned its mission (“provide the respiratory community with quality, researched and innovative devices to help people breathe easier”) with the broader goal of advancing respiratory care. That alignment has been noticed—and rewarded.
Sustained excellence over time: Re-winning year after year is the clearest signal of durability and consistency. Winning 10 out of the last 11 years means Monaghan isn’t resting on past success—it’s living the values that the respiratory‐care community recognizes. In an industry of change—new technology, shifting workflows, evolving clinician needs—this consistency matters.
Our Gratitude
We’re deeply grateful to AARC—namely the individual respiratory therapists and clinicians—who voted, nominated, and recognized our efforts. Your confidence in our team, our products, and our service is a profound honor. We also thank every Monaghan team member—past and present—whose dedication and service ethic made this recognition possible, and, most importantly, the patients whom the respiratory-care community serves. Your trust drives us.
As respiratory care evolves—with new therapies, devices, and patient-centric-care pathways—we see this recognition not as the endpoint but as a renewed commitment. We are motivated to continue innovating, listening and delivering more value to clinicians and patients alike.
The bar has been set. We’re grateful to have met it—and motivated to raise it even higher.
