Sleep Soundly Again

Sleep disorders can seriously interfere with emotional and physical health, often leading to depression, reduced concentration and impaired memory and judgment.

Beaver Dam Community Hospital recognizes the serious effects sleep disorders have. That is why BDCH is now equipped with the latest technology to allow our trained professionals to diagnose and treat sleep disorders.

BDCH’s newly installed sleep lab system offers state-of-the-art technology and allows for advanced sleep studies to be performed. Our specialized sleep professionals, including Dr. Jacalyn Nelson and Dr. A. Danny Yaish, are committed to assisting patients in the identification of the causes and the treatment of their concerns.

Once the sleep study is completed, a sleep specialist reviews and interprets the record and assists both the patient and the physician to better understand the individual sleep pattern. Treatment recommendations are then made if evidence of a sleep disorder is found.

Physicians who want to schedule a sleep study are encouraged to contact the BDCH scheduling department at (920) 887-4051.
