Sleep Apnea, a condition that has several causes and many side effects, but is easily diagnosed and treated at the SIMED | Sleep Center.October 6-13 is National Sleep Apnea Awareness Week. Physicians, Sleep Technologists and support groups around the country use this time to remind us that we don’t have to suffer. Sleep apnea can lead to or worsen heart disease, stroke, diabetes and blood pressure, along with reducing our personal performance at work and play because we haven’t had a full night of restful sleep. SIMED’s Sleep Center is an Accredited facility staffed by Registered Technologists. Your physician may refer you for testing or consultation with one of our Board Certified sleep physicians.
