Intermountain Health's specialized sleep medicine clinics in Sandy and Salt Lake City are scheduled to reopen on Monday morning, following a weekend closure. The facilities provide specialized care for sleep disorders, ranging from insomnia management to the treatment of sleep apnea.
Alta View Clinic Services
The Sleep Medicine Clinic located at the Alta View Clinic in Sandy is set to resume operations at 8 a.m. on Monday. This facility, situated in Building 2, Level 2 at 9450 South 1300 East, offers a variety of specialized services including cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), sleep medication management, and sleep therapy management.
Patients seeking care at the Alta View location typically begin the process through a referral from a primary care provider. Once a referral is received, the clinic contacts the patient to schedule a consultation with a sleep medicine specialist to review medical history and develop a personalized care plan.
Salt Lake City Clinic Details
The Avenues Clinic Specialty Sleep facility in Salt Lake City will also reopen at 7 a.m. on Monday. Located at 440 D Street, Suite 200, the clinic provides specialized sleep services to the Salt Lake City community.
Intermountain Health provides several avenues for follow-up care, noting that many patients continue long-term management with the same provider for years. To accommodate patient needs, follow-up appointments and yearly visits can be completed either in person or through secure video visits.
Comprehensive Sleep Care
The clinics offer comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic options, including medication management that may include the evaluation of GLP-1 medications when appropriate. Providers at these locations work with patients to address how sleep issues may impact overall health through diagnostic testing and specialized therapy.
Medical professionals at the Alta View Clinic include Jessie M. Wrobel, NP, and Robert D. Bartlett, NP. Other specialized providers in the Intermountain Health network include Richard F. Smith, PA, and Nancy E. Gundersen, MD.
Health Importance and Community Outreach
Sleep medicine specialists emphasize that conditions like sleep apnea can be serious, as the disorder disrupts rest by causing the individual to stop breathing during sleep, potentially depriving the body and brain of necessary oxygen.
Intermountain Health also maintains a partnership with KUTV News for the 'Ask the Expert' program, a monthly event held on the second Tuesday of each month to provide health advice to the community.
