St. Mary's Hospital - 2nd Floor
Adequate, restful sleep is important to everyone, regardless of age. The consequences of inadequate sleep can be far-reaching, including shortened life spans, higher mortality rates, increased risk of heart disease and gastrointestinal disorders, irritability and depression.
The Central Illinois Sleep Medicine Center on the campus of St. Mary's Hospital is a specialized service that recognizes the importance of a good night's rest. Professionals in the Sleep Center help diagnose a patient's sleep disorders and provide treatment options to help each patient achieve the rest needed to function at home and on the job.
The Sleep Medicine Center recently received a 5-year accreditation from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM). To receive accreditation, a sleep center must undergo a detailed inspection of its facility, staff, testing procedures, patient contacts, and physician training, and meet or exceed all standards for professional quality health care as designated by the Academy.
In addition to this accomplishment, the Center underwent renovation of its comfortable, home-like sleep rooms and added a state-of-the-art Sensor Medics Alpha 4100 all-digital video recording system. This highly accurate recording equipment produces superior quality images and allows test results to be viewed with ease from any PC.
The Center’s staff of board certified physicians and registered polysomnographic technologists ensures patients receive the highest quality care available for their sleep disorders. The Sleep Center performs testing Sunday through Friday. For more information, please call 464-2847.
