The Sleep Disorders Center (SDC) at
Winthrop-University Hospital has
received prestigious reaccreditation
from the American Academy of Sleep
Medicine (AASM). Considered the "gold
standard" by the AASM, this notable
achievement marks the fourth consecutive
time that the SDC has been granted
accreditation by the Academy.
"The Center consistently meets
the Academy's distinguished standards,
which exemplifies our commitment to
maintaining the highest level of care
for patients," said Michael Weinstein,
MD, Director of Winthrop's Sleep
Disorders Center and Diplomate of the
American Board of Sleep Medicine.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)
affects approximately 15 to 20 million
Americans.
Staffed by a team of sleep medicine
specialists and sleep technologists,
Winthrop's SDC offers a multidisciplinary
approach to diagnosing and
treating OSA and other common sleep
disorders including insomnia, snoring
and narcolepsy.
