Broken sleep? No sleep? Don’t worry, New York Methodist Hospital just snip-snipped the ribbon in its brand-new Center for Sleep Disorders. Hospital head Mark Mundy, senior vice president Lauren Yedvab, medical director of the Center for Sleep Disorders Jeremy Weingarten, the center’s chief polysomnographic technologist John Cunningham, and chief of pulmonary and critical care medicine Suhail Raoof were all on hand to cut the ribbon and open the doors to this new state-of-the-art sleep center.
The original center has conducted more than 1,200 sleep studies and with this new and improved center that’s up and snoozing, it is projected that more than 2,000 more individuals will be able to be accommodated. The new place offers a cutting-edge laboratory with advanced technology that helps patients get as much of a good night’s sleep as possible.
“Over 40 million Americans have a chronic sleep disorder, and each day, we hear more about the impact it has on both our personal health and our society in general,” said Mundy, president and CEO of New York Methodist Hospital. Standing O knows first hand how hard it is to get a good night’s sleep.
Mundy added, “With the help of NYM’s team of sleep experts, this marvelous facility will help us do our part to make a dent in those numbers, and help our patients live longer, happier lives.”
