Home Sleep Apnea Testing (At Home)
Community Hospital offers Home Sleep Apnea Testing (HSAT). We utilize the Zoll Itamar WatchPAT device for HSAT's. It is an FDA-Cleared portable home sleep apnea test and diagnostic device that uses innovative technologies to ensure the accurate detection of sleep apnea. Data from these tests are still reviewed and interpreted by a Board Certified Sleep Physician.
In-Lab Polysomonography (At Community Hospital)
Two beautiful home-like sleeping suites with handicapped accessible private baths with showers are equipped with comfortable mattresses, beautiful headboards, decorative wallpaper, side chairs, artwork and plump bath towels.
The comfortable and private rooms offer the patient the advantage of a quiet sleep study away from outside distractions. Hotel-type amenities include a breakfast coupon for the hospital cafeteria. Bottled water and coffee are also provided.
