Newport Hospital Expands Capacity for Sleep Testing
(posted November 2, 2009)
The Newport Hospital location of the Lifespan Sleep Disorders Center has increased its capacity for sleep studies, in an effort to reduce the waiting time for patients who are referred for the service. The center is fully accredited by the American Sleep Disorders Association and the Joint Commission.
Sleep disorders are very common. Often a patient seeks a physician’s help because the patient is very tired during the day or the patient’s spouse complains of constant snoring. Those symptoms and more might trigger a need for a sleep study, and patients who suffer from symptoms should contact their primary care physicians to arrange an evaluation.
