🌙 A FIRST FOR OUR SLEEP DISORDERS CENTER!

Elmore Community Hospital Sleep Disorders Center is excited to welcome Keionna Walker, the very first trainee in our new Sleep Technician Training Program!

Keionna brings experience in phlebotomy, dialysis, and EMS, and she is now beginning an exciting new path in sleep medicine.

Her training starts with 80 hours of classroom instruction, including written education, video training, laboratory work, and hands-on practice. From there, she will complete 16 weeks of practical experience alongside a preceptor, building the skills and knowledge needed to care for sleep patients.

But this program is about more than training it’s about investing in our people and growing healthcare professionals right here in our community.

Elmore Community Hospital is covering the cost of Keionna’s education as well as the American Academy of Sleep Medicine’s A-STEP modules, helping move her one step closer to the ultimate goal of becoming a Registered Polysomnographic Technologist.

We are proud to invest in Keionna as she invests her time and talents back into our hospital and the patients we serve.

Congratulations, Keionna! We’re excited to watch you grow and we hope you’re the first of many sleep technicians trained right here at Elmore Community Hospital. 💙

💤 Meet the Staff Monday 💤

Today, we’re excited to introduce Brittany Smitherman, Clinic Scheduler at the Sleep Disorders Center!

Brittany helps patients understand what to expect from their sleep studies and makes sure they feel informed and comfortable before they arrive for testing. She says the most rewarding part of her role is seeing the comfort on a patient’s face after speaking with them.

For Brittany, Ivy Creek feels like a “home away from home,” and she describes her experience here as heartwarming. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, cooking, and watching football—War Eagle! 🏈

We’re thankful to have Brittany’s warm and caring personality helping our patients every step of the way. Please join us in recognizing Brittany for Meet the Staff Monday! 💙

Do you struggle to stay awake while driving, working or sitting quietly?

Excessive daytime sleepiness isn’t something to brush off. It can affect your concentration, reaction time, work performance and safety.

If you’re sleeping at night but still fighting to stay awake during the day, speak with your healthcare provider about the Sleep Disorders Clinic at Elmore Community Hospital.

Finding the cause could change more than your nights it could improve your days, too.

Coffee can help you get through the morning but it can’t replace healthy, restorative sleep. ☕😴

If you’re depending on caffeine just to make it through the day, waking up exhausted or struggling to stay alert, an underlying sleep disorder could be the reason.

Ask your healthcare provider about a sleep study at the Sleep Disorders Clinic.

Let’s help you wake up feeling rested not just caffeinated!
