The Iowa Board of Respiratory Care said today (Thursday), a Malvern Respiratory Therapist has entered into a Consent Agreement with regard to inactive status. On Feb. 17th, Ronald Beres, Jr., requested his license be placed on inactive status effective immediately. His license had been set to expire on March 31st, 2016.

If Beres desires to file for reactivation of his license, he must complete an alcohol and substance abuse evaluation, and comply with any requirements set forth in the evaluation.

The board granted Beres’ request with the notation the matter is NOT considered to be a form of discipline against him.
