Buffalo Hospital Sleep Center receives prestigious accreditation

BUFFALO, Minn. 07/23/2007--Buffalo Hospital's Sleep Center recently received accreditation by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. This gold standard accreditation assures patients that they are receiving the best diagnostic testing and patient care.

"More than 25 percent of the population experiences sleep disturbances at some time in their lives," says Bernice Kolb, MD, internist, sleep specialist and director of sleep medicine at Buffalo Hospital. "Properly treated sleep disorders improve the quality of life for the patient and their family."

Buffalo Hospital's Sleep Center is fully-equipped to offer this type of assistance. Staffed by two board certified physicians, it provides comprehensive clinical evaluation and treatment to patients with a variety of sleep disorders including sleep apnea and narcolepsy.
