The Fusion Sleep Medicine Program has joined hands with the American Sleep Apnea Association A.W.A.K.E Network.
A.W.A.K.E. stands for Alert, Well and Keeping Energetic and is a mutual help support group for patients with sleep apnea and their families. Network members are armed with knowledge of sleep apnea and methods of treatment, and thus have a better understanding of the nature of their disorder and their prescribed treatment.
