Program – Rome Memorial Hospital Sleep
Disorders Center
Karen St. Louis from Rome
Memorial Hospital gave an interesting program on sleep disorders and the new
Sleep Disorders Center at the Hospital, open since November of 2009. It is a four bed sleep center that has
private rooms with private baths to ensure patient comfort. 65 Million Americans suffer from sleep
problems including having trouble falling asleep, insomnia, daytime sleepiness,
fatigue, snoring, breathing problems or nightmares. She also spoke of obstructive sleep apnea which is a
condition where a person stops breathing repeatedly during sleep because the
airway collapses and prevents air from getting into the lungs. The Sleep Disorders Center, during a
patient’s stay, tests them for various disorders, diagnoses the problem and
then works to find a solution to get the patient sleeping soundly. Thank you Karen and Rome Memorial
Hospital!
