Pam
Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT)
Educator/Public Relations
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.

Patty
Certified Polysomnographic Technician (CPSGT)
Hi! My name is Patty. I am a Certified Polysomnographic Technician, who is super proud to be a part of the RespShop.com team.
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.

Lily
Registered Respiratory Therapist
Hi! My name is Lily and I am a Registered Respiratory Therapist. I enjoy working in Sleep and Home Oxygen because of the change I can make in people's lives. Even something as simple as finding a more comfortable CPAP mask can really improve someone's quality of life. It's really rewarding to hear people tell me, after their first night on CPAP that they've never slept so deeply! It can be a challenge to adjust to sleeping with a CPAP machine but your body will thank you. It may just be that you haven't found the best mask for you! Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions - I'm happy to help. Outside of work, I enjoy baking, and hiking the trails in my area.
