One out of three Americans suffer from a sleeping disorder, yet 95% remain undiagnosed
and untreated. Sleep apnea is more common than asthma, however, untreated sleep
apnea puts you at increased risk of falling asleep in dangerous situations like
driving, as well as risk for stroke, heart attack, obesity and depression.
The St. Francis Sleep Center is a valuable complement to the
St. Francis Institute for Chronic Health, providing a disease-management
approach to the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up to patients suffering from
various sleep disorders. Early detection of sleep disorders that correlate to
diabetes, cardiovascular disease and obesity is the primary objective of the sleep
center.
