WCH Sleep Medicine

Sleep Medicine Clinic in Wooster, OH

Comprehensive Care for Chronic Sleep Disorders

At Wooster Community Hospital, we test for and treat common sleep problems in our accredited Sleep Disorders Center.

Sleep is a natural, restorative, and vital part of our daily routine. It promotes good health, allows the brain to rest, and enables us to be productive in work and play. However, more than 25 percent of Americans suffer from excessive daytime sleepiness due to chronic sleep disorders. Sleep disorders can negatively affect the immune system, personality, and work performance. They can also lead to serious or fatal health problems such as heart disease and high blood pressure.

Anyone who suffers from excessive daytime sleepiness, has trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, or disturbs the sleep of others by snoring loudly is a candidate for a sleep evaluation.

Common problems include sleep apnea, insomnia, restless legs syndrome, muscle spasms during sleep, and narcolepsy. Accreditation by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) assures quality care for patients with sleep disorders. A physician’s referral is necessary for evaluation.

The medical director of the WCH Sleep Disorders Center is the only physician in the area. In addition, all of our staff are registered sleep technologists; combined, they bring years of trusted sleep medicine experience to diagnose and treat a wide range of sleep-related problems.

We offer PAP Education visits to assist with mask fitting, sleep hygiene, and compliance with prescribed sleep therapies.

In addition, we are affiliated with DASCO Home Medical Equipment to help you get the respiratory and other durable medical equipment you need – when you need it. This includes portable oxygen, CPAP and BIPAP machines, and noninvasive ventilation.

You may wish to print and complete this 2-week sleep diary by the AASM prior to your consultation with one of our sleep doctors or technologists.
