CHARLOTTE, Mich. – University of Michigan Health-Sparrow Eaton is proud to announce that its newly renovated sleep center is now open to patients who are among the many experiencing sleep issues.

The sleep center, located inside the Charlotte hospital, now offers additional private rooms with individual temperature control and several other conveniences, like new furniture, to make the sleep study as comfortable as possible. Moving the center to the hospital’s second floor also creates a quieter space for less interruption.

"With these enhancements, we are prioritizing both comfort and privacy, ensuring that every patient receives a restful, personalized experience during their sleep study” said Steve Dexter, director of operations at UM Health-Sparrow Eaton and Ionia.

Chronic sleep problems affect nearly 40 million people in the United States and can have a big impact on health and happiness. That’s why U-M Health’s highly skilled team of physicians and technologists is dedicated to helping patients suffering from sleep disorders and their families to get a better night’s rest.

“We are proud to offer high quality, compassionate sleep care in our facility within the UM Health-Sparrow Eaton campus. Our services include consultations, sleep studies and follow-up care, so that there are no gaps in total care of sleep disorders in our patients,” said Chandra M. Gera, M.D, FCCP, ABSM, UM Health-Sparrow Eaton Sleep Center medical director.

The sleep center provides services in all types of sleep disorders like sleep apnea, insomnia, narcolepsy, restless leg syndrome and more.

UM Health-Sparrow also has sleep centers at our hospitals in Lansing, Carson City, Ionia and St. Johns.

If you or your loved one are struggling to sleep, talk to your primary care physician about participating in a sleep study. You can also find more information at UofMHealthSparrow.org/SleepCenter.
