The CHRISTUS St. Frances Cabrini Hospital Sleep Disorders Lab is accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. Sleep studies are tests that measure how well you sleep and how your body responds to sleep disturbances. These tests help your physician determine if you have a sleep disorder and how severe it is. Sleep studies are important because untreated sleep disorders can raise your risk for heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke and other medical conditions. These studies help evaluate problems such as narcolepsy, insomnia, sleep apnea syndrome, nocturnal myoclonus and idiopathic hypersomnolence.

 We focus on your treatment from the emergency room to physical rehabilitation and provide you with support and education . Our stroke team consists of physicians, nurses, clinical pharmacists and therapists who work together to develop the best treatment plan for stroke victims.
