  • Matthew R. Morrell joins the division of Pulmonary and Critical Care as a Professor of Medicine.

    He obtained a bachelor of science in chemistry at the University of Utah, where he graduated summa cum laude. He attended the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California Los Angeles where he was elected to the Alpha Omega Alpha Medical Honor Society after his second year and ultimately graduated with honors. Dr. Morrell completed his internal medicine residency and his fellowship in pulmonary and critical care at Washington University in St. Louis/Barnes-Jewish Hospital. He was recruited to the University of Pittsburgh in the division of pulmonary, allergy and critical care medicine as an assistant professor and a lung transplant pulmonologist. Dr. Morrell served as the director of the pulmonary stepdown unit at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. In 2016, he was appointed as the medical director of the lung transplant program and promoted to the academic rank of associate professor. His passion for expanding access to lung transplantation through organ donation led him to be appointed the medical director of the Center for Organ Recovery and Education (CORE), the region’s local organ procurement organization.

    Dr. Morrell has been involved in medical education of medical students, residents and fellows and has served as the pulmonary transplant fellowship director at the University of Pittsburgh. He is an active member of the International Society of Heart and Lung Transplantation and the American Thoracic Society. Dr. Morrell is excited to join the faculty at the University of Utah and the lung transplant program as the medical director. He hopes to promote organ donation and provide increased opportunities for lung transplantation to the people here in the mountain west. In his spare time, Dr. Morrell enjoys attending his children’s football games and swim meets. He is an avid cross country runner and pipe organ player.

    UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICS

    Although very competent and professional he makes one feel comfortable and at easy. Definitely in good hands.

    UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICS

    Very informative and answered all questions we had

    UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL

    Dr Morrell and the Lung transplant team are the best ever. They speak with one voice and listen very well. I am so glad I was able to get a referral and a double lung transplant in 2023. Best care I have ever had.

    UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL

    Nothing but the highest praise!

    UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICS

    Dr. Morrell listens to what I have to say. He addresses the issues that I have. He explains things to me in a way that I understand. He is very thorough. He goes over my chart and reviews information with me. I am very lucky that he is part of the Transplant Team, since I see them often.

    UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICS

    It was courteous, explain things very well

    UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICS

    Dr Morrell projected the seriousness of the entire transplant process. All information was given with nothing left unsaid. The patient would be watched before the transplant and for months following. The take away was that they set you up for success, and do everything they can to insure you are taken care of every step of the way. He truly seemed to care.

    UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL

    He is excellent. Er is horrible

    UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL

    Dr Mathew Morrell was very reassuring about questions he answered and is very knowledgeable .I am excited to have met him and have a great deal of confidence in him
