Northwest Sleep Health is fully accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. AASM accreditation is the gold standard by which patients, organizations and companies evaluate sleep disorder centers. In fact, third-party payers in many states will provide reimbursement for sleep studies only if they are conducted at an AASM-accredited facility.
Northwest Sleep Health's reputation for excellence in treating sleep disorders is built on our accurate sleep studies and quality customer care. Our friendly and knowledgeable staff members are with you every step of the way, ready to guide you through all stages of your sleep study, diagnosis and care. Sleep centers and laboratories that are not AASM-accredited simply do not meet these high standards for clinical accuracy and quality patient care. If you suffer from a sleep disorder, you deserve the highest-quality evaluation and best treatment available. At Northwest Sleep Health, we are proud to provide this to you, our valued patients.
