Intermountain Heber Valley Specialty Clinic Has Expanded to Increase Access for Patients

Utah’s Wasatch Back continues to grow, and the Intermountain Heber Valley Specialty Clinic building has been remodeled and expanded to help meet that growth. The Clinic recently made room for new providers in ear, nose and throat care, sleep medicine, and neurosurgery as well as to improve access for existing providers. This allows several caregivers to see more patients in clinic on more days of the week and increases access to specialized medical care closer to home for the residents of Wasatch County.

“We’ve tripled the size of our specialty clinic,” said Si Hutt, president of Intermountain Heber Valley Hospital during a ribbon cutting event Friday, June 21. “This makes care more convenient and is part of a larger strategy to improve access to specialists and services on the Wasatch Back.”

Richard Vanlangendonck, MD, is a new urologist who is joining Carol Leatherman, PA-C at the Specialty Clinic later this summer. The clinic is currently recruiting for a dermatologist to work full-time in Heber City to join doctors Kevin Gardner and Timothy Michaelis.

Dr. Nathan Joos, an ear nose and throat surgeon will now see patients at the Heber Clinic in addition to already seeing patients in Park City. He performs a relatively new implant surgery solution for sleep apnea. John Zachary, PA-C will see patients in the clinic for sleep medicine follow up from home sleep studies or sleep studies done at Intermountain Heber Valley Hospital.

Dr. Josh Morgan, general surgeon, has practiced in the clinic for three years, but will now have more availability for appointments. Gastroenterology services will also expand clinic availability with Charlotte Powers, NP and Erin Kimball, PA-C working closely with gastrointestinal doctors Holly Clark and Don Brust.

Pain management services that help patients with chronic pain will also increase their availability in Heber with Dr. Josh Minori, Troy Johnson PA-C and Matt Tieman, PA-C. They will move from the clinic attached to the hospital over to the South Medical Office Building where the Intermountain Specialty Clinic is located.

Intermountain Heart will also move to the new specialty clinic space and will expand its capability to do stress echocardiograms. An additional cardiologist plans to join doctors Amanda Donohue and Armond LaPine later this year.

The Specialty Clinic is located at 380 E. 1500 South in Heber, UT on the campus of Heber Valley Hospital and can be reached at 435-657-4600. More information about Intermountain Heber Valley Specialty Clinic services and providers will be updated here.
