Disorders
One
out of three Americans has a sleep
disorder, which may make their sleeping or waking hours miserable.
Many of these people suffer needlessly simply because they are
unaware that a problem exists.
Munson Healthcare provides a mobile sleep disorders
lab that visits Mercy Hospital Grayling every three weeks, staying
for a week at a time. To be evaluated in the mobile lab, patients
are referred by their primary care physician, but self-referrals
are also accepted.
David
Walker, DO, and Margaret
Moen, MD, are Board Certified sleep specialists who have expanded
their sleep disorders clinics to the Grayling area. Charles
Gwizdala, MD and Sleep Specialist, also provides sleep consultations
for patients in Grayling and Gaylord.
Most patients must have a sleep consultation
prior to a sleep study. All sleep studies being performed in the
mobile sleep lab while in Grayling will be billed by Mercy Hospital
Grayling.
Sleep disorders have been recognized as potentially
serious medical problems. If you think you may have a sleep disorder,
contact your primary care physician. If you do not currently have
a physician, or would like further information on sleep disorders,
contact the Munson
Sleep Disorders Center at 1-800-358-9641.
If you are a Mercy Hospital Grayling patient and have
a compliment, concern, or complaint, please contact one of our Patient
Liaisons.
