Sleep Solutions for Better Rest
At the Providence Sleep Center, we know sleep is essential for good health. But it doesn’t always come easily. We understand how frustrating it can be not to be able to sleep and not know why. We’ll help you get to the bottom of things and make a good night’s sleep more than just a dream.
Our Approach
The Sleep Center at Providence Mount Carmel Hospital helps you achieve better rest, so you wake up refreshed and ready for the day. We evaluate your symptoms, conduct specialized tests, and tailor a treatment plan to your needs.
We begin with a physical exam and review your health history. Often, we ask you to keep a sleep diary for several days to identify patterns and potential disorders. Based on our findings, we may order additional tests to confirm any suspected issues and then customize a treatment plan for your specific condition.
