Team Bronson..." maybe that's about culture; could be part of About the role? Might be considered fluff but it's substantive? It's about organization values. Could be included in About the role or maybe a separate "About Bronson". But guidelines: Use headings for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should include only those with content. We have: - About the role: Could include description: "Under general supervision from the Respiratory manager and/or Director, and in accordance with the policies and guidelines established within the organization.

We must not repeat job title as heading. So we will not have a heading for "Registered Respiratory Therapist". We'll start with maybe

About the role

then paragraph. We need to use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for responsibilities we should use a list. For requirements also list. For benefits list. We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all the details from the posting, but we can combine similar items but not lose detail. However we must not create filler sections like "Pay" if not specified. We need to be careful not to include boilerplate like "Love Where You Work! Team Bronson is compassionate, resilient and strong. We are driven by Positivity which inspires us to be our best and to go above and beyond for our patients, for one another, and for our community. If you’re ready for a rewarding new career, join Team Bronson and be part of the experience." This is somewhat fluff but maybe considered part of About the role? It's about culture. Could be included but it's not specific to the role. The guidelines say remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This is not exactly those categories, but it's more marketing fluff. Might be considered boilerplate? Not sure. Safer to include it in About the role? It's not about the role specifically. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Could include a brief About the role paragraph that includes the mission statement? Might be okay. But we also have "Location BMH Bronson Methodist Hospital". We'll include that in About the role. Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. Let's structure:
