In celebration of World Sleep Day on Friday, March 16, an Open House will be held from 12:30 to 2:00 p.m. at the newly renovated Baxter Regional Medical Center Sleep Disorder Center. Located on the sixth floor of BRMC, the Sleep Disorder Center has two additional private testing rooms and expanded observation areas, allowing patient testing to be scheduled sooner. Tours of the remodeled unit will be led by staff members, showing visitors the expansion and updated modern decor of the unit.

Accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, the BRMC Sleep Disorder Center is open Monday though Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and offers overnight and daytime testing under the medical direction of Board Certified Sleep Disorder Specialist Paul Neis, MD. After testing, the Sleep Disorder Center works closely with BRMC Sleep DME (Durable Medical Equipment), offering CPAP and BiPAP machines, masks, and supplies for treatments of sleep disordered breathing. A Respiratory Therapist and Registered Polysomnographic Technologist/Certified Sleep Educator work one-on-one with patients to find the right equipment for compliance and best outcomes.
