Hi! My name is Pam Schmidt. I am a Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) of 25+ years. I have completed my education at Northeast Iowa Community College and trained at several hospitals. My background is in hospital care, Home Medical Equipment, billing insurances, and nursing home care.
I deal with all aspects related to the customer's breathing or sleeping issues. I work with all kinds of Respiratory equipment such as: Ventilators, Cpap, Bipap, Nebulizers, MyAirvo, Oximetery, Oxygen and more. I have been helping during this Covid pandemic in various ways. Whether taking a flight to bring someone back or just helping them get back home to their loved ones.
I am very thankful for being an RRT because it has given me the opportunity to work with struggling customers and their families through multiple life-threatening challenges. I enjoy helping my customer obtain the best therapy possible along with giving them the education needed to succeed.
Our Team here at RespShop is excellent and extremely excited to help you. When I am not at work, I love coaching my 3 kids in soccer, basketball, softball, baseball and even wrestling. I love family and friends and always appreciate spending time with them.

I have seen people's lives change, dramatically, once they become optimally treated for sleep apnea. It is rewarding to hear people speak of having a better quality of life, increased energy, and overall happiness. Knowing I am supporting people in improving their health is the best feeling. And with the technology used in the new machines and masks, it is extremely easy to help everyone find exactly what they need to be compliant in their therapy.
Outside of work, I am sure to spend time with my family and friends, going for bike rides and enjoying dinners together.

I have been working in the sleep field since 2015 and love the positive impact that I can make on patient's lives. I personally have sleep apnea and have used most of the equipment myself and can offer a firsthand perspective as well as the perspectives I have gotten from all my patients over the years. I cannot wait to help you. Outside of work, I spend most of my days reading, crocheting, swing dancing, and playing dungeons and dragons with my daughter.

I look forward to helping you anyway I can!

I spent many years feeling tired all the time until I learned about CPAP and its benefits, and now I feel deeply passionate about helping others achieve their best as well.
Over the last 5 plus years I have spent a lot of time learning about new products and testing all the new masks and machines that we carry. We have a great Team here.
Our team here at RespShop are well versed on all our products and stive to help you get the best products to meet your needs.
When I am not working, I love to walk our local Seattle area lakes with my husband and our 3 dogs and spend time with friends and family.
