Sleep Apnea Education Center

Providing you with sleep apnea treatment, education and support for restful sleep

We offer personalized breathing devices and treatments that can help you return to a healthy, restful sleep.

Sleep apnea is a potentially dangerous sleep disorder that causes a person to stop breathing for short periods of time during sleep. This causes you to become sleep deprived because you get poor quality sleep and puts you at greater risk for accidents, high blood pressure, heart disease and other conditions.

With multiple locations across the state, IU Health Sleep Apnea Education Centers are specially equipped to diagnose and treat patients suffering from every type of sleep apnea, including obstructive sleep apnea, central sleep apnea and complex sleep apnea.

Overnight Sleep Study

If you haven't received a sleep apnea diagnosis but are suffering from common symptoms, a sleep apnea test during an overnight sleep study can confirm your condition and determine treatment options. Sleep studies are conducted at IU Health Sleep Disorders Centers.

Treatment Options

PAP

The most common treatments for sleep apnea involve the use of a breathing device during sleep.

IU Health physicians and respiratory therapists are experts in a wide variety of devices and masks, including CPAP, BiPAP, AutoPap and adaptive servo ventilation. They will work with you to ensure comfort and a proper fit.
