Edward-Elmhurst Health opens Sleep Center in Yorkville

Edward-Elmhurst Health has opened a Sleep Center in Yorkville at 88 W. Countryside Parkway. The location is also home to an Edward-Elmhurst Walk-In Clinic.

An estimated 70 million Americans have a sleep condition, according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. Left untreated, sleep disorders can put patients at risk for heart disease and other health issues.

A sleep study can help a physician determine if a patient is suffering from a sleep disorder, such as sleep apnea, insomnia, restless leg syndrome or narcolepsy.

The new Sleep Center in Yorkville features a four-bed sleep diagnostic and therapeutic testing facility. Each testing bedroom is furnished with a queen-size bed and comfort features, such as a white noise machine and fan. For more information, call 630-646-3940 or visit EEHealth.org/services/sleep.
