Our entire well-being rests on a good night’s sleep. Quality rest keeps you alert and active and lowers your risk of serious conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and obesity. Sleep also helps with mental health issues like anxiety and depression. But for many people, getting quality sleep is a struggle. That’s where Stormont Vail Sleep Medicine comes in – they’re here to help people with sleep problems get the rest they need.

1. Comprehensive Sleep Disorder Management

Our Sleep Medicine specialists don’t just address symptoms; we dive deep into comprehensive sleep disorder management. From your first consultation to follow-up care, we’ll create a plan covering every aspect of your sleep health. Whether it’s sleep apnea, insomnia, or any other disturbance, we have the tools and treatments to give you the best care possible.

2. Proven Treatment Options

• Providing the best care possible means we continually explore new treatment options and proven therapies designed to offer long-term relief and solutions, including:
• Sleep studies: Sleep studies can diagnose sleep disorders like sleep apnea, narcolepsy, insomnia, restless leg syndrome, and many more. Not everyone requires a sleep study—your healthcare provider may diagnose you based on your symptoms.
• Sleep monitoring: Unlike typical sleep studies, which only monitor activity for one night, the actigraphy method allows us to see activity over several days, weeks, or months.
• Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy: CPAP machines use a mask or nosepiece to help keep your airways open by gently blowing air into your throat while you sleep.
• Medication: Some sleep disorders, like periodic limb movement disorder or narcolepsy, can be treated with prescribed medicines. These medicines can’t cure the condition but can help with the symptoms.

3. Inspire Therapy

Stormont Vail is the only place in Northeast Kansas where you can get Inspire therapy, a treatment for people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who have trouble with or can’t use CPAP. Unlike CPAP, which involves masks and hoses, Inspire is a small implant that uses gentle pulses to keep your airway open while you sleep. Inspire isn’t for everyone, so it’s important to talk to your doctor or call Stormont Vail’s Sleep Medicine team at (785) 368-0763 to see if it’s right for you.

4. Patient-Centric Care

You are unique, and your sleep treatment should be, too. That’s why we prioritize personalized care and treatment plans that align with your needs and preferences. Focusing on you ensures that your path to better sleep is attainable and sustainable.

5. Interdisciplinary Care from Multiple Specialties

Our multidisciplinary team, which includes Sleep Medicine and Pulmonary Care specialists, is the backbone of our success. Every team member, from board-certified physicians to skilled nurses and technologists, is committed to providing the highest quality of care. Their expertise and genuine care drive our mission to turn a good night’s sleep from a dream into reality.
