What sets us apart

The Schmidt Chest Clinic at Intermountain Medical Center serves as a specialty center of excellence for highly complex pulmonology cases. We aim to provide the highest quality, patient-centered, evidenced-based pulmonary care possible. We pride ourselves in being a center of excellence across the spectrum of pulmonary disease. Supported by a dedicated multidisciplinary team, we provide expertise in advanced therapies for multiple pulmonary subspecialties. We actively collaborate with our colleagues in cardiology, oncology, rheumatology, otolaryngology, neurology, endocrinology, and primary care to provide a cohesive team-based approach to patient care.

We offer virtual and in office visits to patients throughout the intermountain west including individuals from Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, Nevada, and Arizona.

Our programs

Learn more about the programs within our clinic

Bronchiectasis and Pulmonary Infections Program

Bronchiectasis and chronic pulmonary infections affect the lungs’ ability to clear mucus from the airways, ultimately leading to increased risk of pulmonary infection. Our multidisciplinary team creates specialized, individual treatment plans for each patient to reduce symptoms and improve quality of life.

ICU Aftercare and Recovery Clinic

Survivors of critical illness can have persistent symptoms after leaving the intensive care unit (ICU) or a prolonged hospitalization, which can manifest physically, cognitively, and emotionally. These challenges have been described as 'Post ICU Syndrome'. The ICU Aftercare Recovery Clinic supports patients and their families to address these concerns and recover from critical illness in collaboration with the patient’s primary care team.

Interstitial Lung Diseases, Sarcoidosis, and Pulmonary Fibrosis Clinic

The ILD, Sarcoidosis, and Pulmonary Fibrosis Clinic provides comprehensive care for patients with these advanced lung conditions, including access to clinical trials, supportive therapies such as antifibrotic medications, pulmonary rehab and oxygen therapy, and interdisciplinary collaboration with colleagues across Intermountain.

Pulmonary Function Testing Laboratory

The pulmonary function testing laboratory offers a wide array of state-of-the-art cardiopulmonary testing including diagnostic pulmonary function tests, cardiopulmonary exercise testing, bronchial provocation studies, and supports our clinical research enterprise.

Lung Nodule Program

The lung nodule program provides care for patients with small to medium pulmonary nodules requiring ongoing monitoring and if needed, arranges prompt additional testing, including diagnostic biopsies, imaging, and laboratory testing.

Lung Cancer Screening Program

The lung cancer screening program is a referral program for patients eligible for lung cancer screening. Patients are offered a virtual visit to discuss lung cancer screening and then are followed annually as necessary to screen for lung cancer.

Pulmonary Hypertension Care Center

The Intermountain Pulmonary Hypertension Care Center is a Pulmonary Hypertension Association accredited PH program that cares for patients with all types of pulmonary vascular disease, including pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). The Intermountain PHCC and Cardiovascular Surgery program offer pulmonary thromboendarterectomy surgery for eligible patients with CTEPH.

Severe COPD and Asthma Clinic

The Severe COPD and Asthma clinic provides comprehensive and cutting-edge care to patients with obstructive lung diseases including emphysema, chronic bronchitis, and asthma. Our providers are experienced in evaluating patients for eligibility and treating with advanced therapies, such as biologic injections for asthma and endobronchial valves for COPD.
