Sleep Disorders
An estimated one-third of Americans suffer from a sleep disorder at some point in life. Lack of sleep affects the ability to concentrate, accomplish tasks, and manage minor irritations, and can impact memory and reasoning. Lack of sleep can be very dangerous and contributes to an estimated 100,000 automobile accidents each year.
Conemaugh Health System's Sleep Disorders Center specializes in diagnosis and treatment of sleep-related problems for men, women, and children. Conemaugh's team pinpoints the root cause of sleeping issues and provides extensive treatment options to help patients achieve adequate sleep.
