Sleep Health at Rutland Regional

Getting quality sleep is critical to your overall well-being.

If you are experiencing sleep problems, such as difficulty falling or staying asleep, you can trust the specially trained staff at Rutland Regional’s Center for Sleep Disorders to help you get the rest you need.

Treatment Services

Poor sleep quality can lead to accidents, substandard school or work performance, and increased risk of developing conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease and depression. That’s why we work closely with you to identify and resolve the reason for your sleep difficulty. Some underlying conditions that can affect your ability to sleep include:

• Snoring
• Upper airway resistance syndrome
• Obstructive sleep apnea
• Periodic limb movement disorder
• Restless leg syndrome
• Sleepwalking
• Insomnia
• Narcolepsy
• REM behavior disorder

If you are suffering from insomnia, you may be eligible to participate in a joint treatment program offered by the specialists at the Center for Sleep Disorders and Rutland Regional Behavioral Health.

Our Sleep Center

Our state-of-the-art Sleep Center is the first in Vermont to receive national accreditation from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and includes four private, comfortable sleep rooms that are specifically equipped to monitor your sleep patterns throughout the night.

Becoming a Patient

If you are concerned that you may have a sleep disorder, you should discuss your symptoms with your primary care provider. If necessary, he or she will refer you to the Center for Sleep Disorders for a consultation. We accept direct referrals from all community physician providers and specialty providers.

The Center for Sleep Disorders is open continuously from Sunday at 7pm until Saturday at 7am. Our administrative hours are 8am-4pm, Monday through Friday.

Insurance Coverage

Our support staff are familiar with the benefits provided by many insurance plans and can help you with your insurance coverage questions. However, you may want to check with your insurance company about copayments and referral requirements for your specific plan.

What to Bring

When you schedule your first appointment, our skilled support staff will provide you with all the information you need to help you make the most of your visit.

When you arrive, you may be asked to complete patient intake forms, including release-of-information forms that allow Rutland Regional’s Center for Sleep Disorders to coordinate your care and share information with your primary care physician or specialty physicians. To make sure your visit goes smoothly, we recommend bringing the following items:

• Insurance card
• Photo ID
• Copayment, if required by your insurance
• A list of treatments and medical health history
• A complete list of all medications that you are taking (including over-the-counter medications and supplements)
• Notes from your last few physician visits, if applicable
• A list of questions or concerns

If you are having a sleep study, your physician and our office staff will provide you with specific instructions on what to bring with you. We also encourage you to schedule a tour of the Sleep Center and ask questions prior to your sleep study.
