If you and your doctor suspect that you might have a sleep disorder, the first step is a comprehensive evaluation. Several of our hospitals feature sleep centers where experienced technicians conduct the tests necessary to accurately diagnose a sleep disorder. Within our sleep centers, you will find warm and home-like settings with rooms that keep your personal comfort in mind.

- Brainwave activity
- Breathing pattern

If the sleep study determines there is a sleep disorder present, patients will follow up to see one of our specialists to discuss test results and decide on a treatment plan.
