Wood County Hospital Sleep Disorders Center has received program accreditation from the American Academy
of Sleep Medicine.
"The American Academy of Sleep Medicine congratulates Wood County Hospital Sleep Disorders Center on
fulfilling the high standards required for receiving accreditation as a sleep disorders center,"
said Dr. Clete Kushida, AASM president. "The center is a significant resource to the local medical
community and will provide academic and scientific value in addition to the highest quality care for
patients suffering from sleep disorders."
To receive a five-year accreditation, a sleep center must meet or exceed all standards for professional
health care as designated by the AASM. The accreditation process involves detailed inspection of a
center’s facility and staff, including an evaluation of testing procedures, patient contacts, and
physician training. Additionally, the facility’s goals must be clearly stated and include plans for
positively affecting the quality of medical care in the community it serves.
The American Academy of Sleep Medicine currently accredits more than 1,600 sleep medicine centers and
laboratories across the country.
Wood County Hospital Sleep Disorders Center is directed by Dr. David Atwell.
