Holy Name Hospital's Northern New Jersey Center for Sleep Medicine Receives Program Re-accreditation

November 9, 2009

The Northern New Jersey Center for Sleep Medicine at Holy Name Hospital recently received re-accreditation from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM).

In order to earn the accreditation, which is valid for five-years, Holy Name's Sleep Center exceeded all standards for professional health care as designated by the AASM. The AASM is the national accrediting body for sleep medicine centers and labs and is dedicated to setting standards and promoting excellence in this specialty.

The accreditation process involves detailed inspection of a center's facility and staff, including an evaluation of testing procedures, patient contacts, and physician training. Additionally, the facility's goals must be clearly stated and include plans for positively affecting the quality of medical care in the community it serves.

The Northern New Jersey Center for Sleep Medicine is conveniently located across the street from Holy Name Hospital, Teaneck. The state-of-the- art sleep testing facility offers patients hotel-style suites, featuring queen-size beds, cable television with VCR and a private bathroom with a shower. The Center's physicians, who are board-certified in sleep medicine, offer full sleep evaluations and treatment options.
