If your child is having trouble waking up in the morning or is falling asleep in class, it may be time to consider some treatment options. Located in Anacortes, WA, Island Hospital has been offering high-quality medical care and treatment programs for over 50 years. Here, they share everything you need to know about their premier Sleep Wellness Center, which accommodates pediatric patients and their families.

In 2012, the Sleep Wellness Center earned its accreditation from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) by satisfying stringent requirements and meeting comprehensive quality standards for the diagnosis and management of sleep disorders. It was also named a Center of Excellence by the Washington State Health Care Authority, giving the facility preferred provider status and allowing the staff to provide services for a wider range of patients. Because of these accreditations, the center decided to establish a sleep program for children.

Led by Dr. Robert Reyna, the Sleep Wellness Center works with pediatric patients who are having difficulty sleeping. The studies are administered by licensed technicians, who receive age-specific training that prepares them to address the specific needs of children of all ages. The evaluation and treatment of child behavioral and learning problems is also included in the assessment of the pediatric patient’s sleep quality to ensure the best chance for treatment success.

The patient rooms at the Sleep Wellness Center are designed to accommodate the needs of kids and their parents. The lab is equipped with state-of-the art technology specifically designed to diagnose and treat pediatric sleep disorders. A parent is allowed to keep their child company throughout the study.
