The Institute for Sleep Medicine
The trained staff of the Institute for Sleep Medicine at Deborah Heart and Lung Center are experts at diagnosing and treating a variety of sleep disorders. We offer patients accurate diagnosis and effective treatment for common sleep disorders such as sleep apnea, as well as less common disorders such as narcolepsy, insomnia, sleep movement disorders, and sleep deprivation syndromes.
Patients undergo overnight sleep studies in comfortable suites with noninvasive, state-of-the-art equipment recording brain activity, blood oxygen levels, breathing, body position, movements and heart rate. Each room has a private bath, and patients receive complimentary morning breakfast.
One of the Institute’s strongest – and most unique – features is its comprehensive nature, with sleep medicine specialists working in tandem with other specialists to treat all aspects of the sleep disorder.

For example, the Institute boasts on-staff Ear, Nose and Throat and periodontal specialists to evaluate and correct obstructive or anatomical causes of sleep disorders. With significant recent evidence establishing connections between sleep disorders and cardiac conditions (such as sleep apnea and congestive heart failure), Deborah’s sleep specialists and cardiologists collaborate to ensure that these conditions are not treated piecemeal, and that patients receive appropriate screenings for potential coexisting conditions.
