The Center for Multisystem Disease in Denver specializes in disorders that affect multiple body systems. These diseases often cause such complex symptoms that patients spend years going from one doctor to the next, without ever obtaining an accurate diagnosis because their problem doesn’t fit neatly into a traditional medical specialty.
Jill Schofield, MD founded the Center for Multisystem Disease to provide comprehensive care to patients with conditions such as dysautonomia, mast cell activation syndrome, antiphospholipid syndrome, Sjögren’s syndrome, and celiac disease. Some of the patients suffering from these disorders also have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome which causes additional struggles. She specializes in immune-mediated disorders that are confounding due to bodywide symptoms, devoting extra time to each patient so she can identify the issues causing their symptoms. She was the recipient of the 2019 Dysautonomia Support Network’s Game Changer Award for her work in the use of IVIG to treat patients with autoimmune forms of dysautonomia.
At the Center for Multisystem Disease, you’ll receive compassionate care that includes not just medication, but support for lifestyle changes that are important for many patients suffering from these disorders. This includes dietary counseling, help with stress reduction, and learning the best ways to exercise to maintain well-being without aggravating your condition.
If you’ve ever felt like no one understands your illness, or worse, if you’ve been told there’s nothing wrong with you or your symptoms are all in your head, you’re not alone. You’ll find a community that welcomes you at the Center for Multisystem Disease. You’ll meet other patients who suffer from the same condition and who understand your struggle.
Your symptoms will never be discounted at the Center for Multisystem Disease. Their goal is to define your underlying disorder or disorders and to provide customized treatment targeted to the root of the problem, rather than just “band-aid” treatments targeted to each symptom. If you have questions or would like to schedule an appointment, call the office or book an intake appointment online.
“Dr Schofield is ahead of her time. Her medical insights, cutting edge research, attentiveness and commitment to her patients’ health create a unique healing environment. She sets the standard for excellence in treating complex multi-system illnesses.”

I was born and raised in San Jose, California. For my undergraduate education, I attended Santa Clara University and majored in Bioengineering. I went on to attend Touro University Nevada for medical school. I chose Internal Medicine because I enjoy the critical thinking and problem-solving required. Working through complex cases feels a bit like being a detective, piecing together clues to arrive at the right diagnosis. I also appreciate the breadth of the field, and how it allows me to care for a wide variety of patients and conditions. In my free time, I enjoy watching sports, going to concerts, trying new restaurants and breweries, and staying active, whether that’s going to the gym, hiking, or playing pickleball.

I was born and raised in Boise, Idaho. From a young age, I was fascinated by innovation and the human experience. Early in life, I assumed a caregiving role for multiple family members, inspiring my pursuit of medicine. During my undergraduate years at the University of Idaho in Moscow, I co-created a viral TED talk titled “A Crash Course in Organic Chemistry” with my mentor, Dr. Jakob Magolan, and worked in a multidisciplinary video game studio with my computer science and genetics professors.
After graduating with degrees in microbiology, molecular biology, and biotechnology, I went on to the University of Colorado School of Medicine where I served as executive producer on an upcoming documentary, “Diversity and Inclusion in Medicine: The Journey.” I’m passionate about nearly every discipline within and outside of medicine, and am eager to begin this residency as an internist at Sky Ridge Hospital.
In addition to mastering the skills to become an excellent physician, I am committed to finding creative ways to bring comfort and joy to his patients during their most challenging times.
