About
A sleep study is performed to gather the information needed to diagnose a sleep disorder. This is done overnight in a private room at one of our three nationally accredited sleep centers, or with a home sleep study. We identify your sleep patterns by monitoring your oxygen, heart, brain and breathing. Once the sleep study is complete, we recommend the most appropriate treatment to address your needs.
Special Instructions
Sleep patients will park in the employee parking lot on the side of Cherokee Medical Center. Sleep patients will meet their technician at the Employee Entrance door at 7:45 p.m. This door is located on the side of the building.
If you are late, please call 864-560-9050 as soon as possible.
