Sleep on it
If you’re one of the 70 million
Americans with a sleep
disorder, that’s much easier
said than done. But the
Sleep Diagnostic Center at
Methodist Charlton Medical
Center can help.
Our private, comfortable
sleep-study suites are designed
to diagnose and evaluate

The sleep center is open
seven nights a week and
serves children and adults.

example. Just be sure to talk to
your physician about whether
these tools are right for you.
