The Sleep Center and North Sunflower Medical Center
You probably have heard us brag about the Sleep Center at North Sunflower Medical Center a handful of times. And there is a really good reason for that. It is amazing.
Like with so many things here at North Sunflower, the Sleep Center is a state-of-the-art facility that provides comprehensive diagnostic and treatment services for patients suffering from sleep disorders and pulmonary conditions.
The study of sleep medicine dates back to the early 1950s. But the critical importance of sleep to good health and life has become clearer as studies have evolved over the past 25 years.
Visit the Sleep Center’s Experts
Today, the Sleep Center at North Sunflower Medical Center is a leading sleep medicine provider in the region. A team of highly trained medical professionals staffs the center. They specialize in diagnosing and treating sleep disorders. They offer a full range of diagnostic tests, treatment options, and education and support for patients and their families.
One of the key diagnostic tools used at the Center is the electroencephalogram (EEG), a non-invasive test measuring brain activity. The EEG is used to diagnose sleep disorders such as narcolepsy, a neurological disorder that causes excessive daytime sleepiness and sudden sleep attacks. The test also monitors brain activity during sleep to help identify abnormalities that may be causing sleep disruptions.
The Center’s team of highly skilled professionals includes board-certified sleep specialists, registered polysomnographic technologists, and respiratory therapists who work together to provide personalized care to each patient.
The Center also offers pulmonary care for patients with respiratory conditions such as asthma, COPD, and lung cancer. The center’s respiratory therapists work closely with physicians to develop individualized treatment plans that address each patient’s unique needs. The center has the latest technology, including a pulmonary function testing machine, which measures lung capacity and function.
