Sleep Center in Philadelphia, MS
Sleep Apnea Testing & Treatment Close to Home
A good night's sleep is essential to your health. According to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, more than 100 million Americans of all ages struggle to get the restful sleep they need. That's why Neshoba General opened a dedicated three-bed Sleep Center right here in Neshoba County to help our community sleep better and live healthier.
Initial consultations and follow-up appointments with the sleep specialist take place at the Neshoba Medical Arts Clinic, Suite 102, just across the parking lot from the hospital. Our caring team diagnoses and treats a wide range of sleep disorders in a comfortable, home-like setting designed with your comfort in mind.
Located on the first floor, just beside the Hospital Gift Shop, our Sleep Center features three private rooms designed to provide a quiet, relaxing atmosphere. Each room includes comfortable, home-like touches to help you feel at ease during your visit. Our goal is to create a supportive environment where you can rest comfortably while we gather the information needed to improve your sleep health.
What Happens During a Sleep Study?
During your first visit with one of our sleep specialists, your symptoms, medical history, and sleep concerns will be carefully evaluated. If sleep testing is needed, your specialist will recommend the testing option that best fits your needs. Depending on your condition, your sleep study may be performed overnight in our Sleep Center or in the comfort of your own home.
If your sleep study is performed in our Sleep Center, our experienced team will monitor your sleep throughout the night in a quiet, comfortable environment. This allows us to evaluate your sleep patterns, breathing, oxygen levels, heart rate, and other essential information needed to diagnose sleep disorders.
If home sleep testing is recommended, you'll receive instructions on how to use the equipment before taking home a small monitoring device that measures your breathing effort and oxygen levels while you sleep. Once you return the device, the data will be analyzed and interpreted by Dr. Whitehead, our sleep specialist, who will review the results with you and discuss the next steps in your care.
