Sleep disorders affect more than 40 million Americans and are a leading cause of depression and vehicular accidents. Sleep disorders can also increase your chance of heart attack and/or stroke.

If you suffer from lack of sleep or otherwise experience chronic exhaustion, an evaluation by the NSMC Sleep Center could be your first step back to productive, enjoyable living. Our board-certified sleep medicine physicians and registered sleep technologists use advanced monitoring techniques, such as the polysomnogram, to detect, diagnose and treat sleep disorders—before they lead to more serious medical consequences.

We are located on Macomber 5 of NSMC Salem Hospital. Our staff includes Rachel Hindsley and Christy Skidgell.
