Winner Regional Health recently announced that its Sleep Lab Program recently passed its review by the Center’s for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). This is a very intense and rigorous process that not only allows Winner Regional Health to accept Medicaid and Medicare services, but to provide the highest level of care for their patients. This process is required every three years, and this has been their third accreditation over the past nine years. This demonstrates Winner Regional Health’s commitment and ability to meet a high level of performance and highlights its focus on patient care. Being accredited at the national level allows Winner Regional Health to provide services on a local level and in a timely manner, preventing the community from having to drive hours for similar services. Another advan-tage of providing this service on a local level is our ability to provide Home Sleep Studies (HST) for patients who prefer to complete their sleep study in the comfort of their own home.
