Sleep—An Essential Component
Of Your Health
A good night’s sleep supports your immune system, regulates your appetite, improves
brain function and more
The month of May is noted nationally as
“Better Sleep Month,” a time when it’s hoped
you’ll begin to think about the quality of your
sleep, your sleep habits, and how you feel when
you wake up in the morning. All of these are
topics you should discuss with your doctor at
your annual exam or, better yet if you think you
may have a sleep disorder, sooner than that.
If you snore (and you can be sure someone
in your household will let you know if you do!),
you are likely not getting a
full night’s sleep. Snoring
is one of the most common
symptoms of obstructive
sleep apnea, a sleep disorder
that means you are literally
going without oxygen
sporadically throughout
the night. The results:
you’ll feel tired even after
eight hours of “sleep,” you
find yourself dozing off
during the day without wanting to, and
you often awaken with a headache.
But there’s far more going on with the
normal functioning of virtually every one of
your body systems when you are chronically
deprived of sufficient sleep. Untreated sleep
apnea can initiate or exacerbate high blood
pressure, and it can worsen other conditions,
too, including diabetes and heart disease. Sleep
apnea can cause memory problems, daytime
headaches, impotency, and weight gain.
You snooze, you lose
It’s true: while you sleep, your body increases
production of leptin, an appetite-suppressing
hormone that affects your metabolism and
helps burn calories more efficiently. When your
sleep is interrupted as it is by sleep apnea, leptin
levels fall and the hunger hormone, ghrelin,
takes over, increasing your appetite and
storing more calories as fat.
Asleep at the wheel
Because sleep apnea sufferers are always tired,
untreated sleep apnea not only affects job
performance but also puts those suffering from
it at risk for automobile accidents. A study
published last year by AAA reported that drowsy
drivers are involved in nearly one-quarter of
fatal crashes. Specifically, drowsy driving is
responsible for an estimated 328,000 crashes
each year, including 109,000 injury crashes
and 6,400 fatal crashes.
A common problem,
commonly ignored
Sleep apnea is seriously
underdiagnosed, according
to sleep disorder experts;
conservative estimates are
that only one in five
individuals with obstructive sleep apnea has been
diagnosed. For one thing,
symptoms can seem more of a nuisance than a
health hazard. Add to that the fact that many
primary care doctors don’t ask about sleep
habits and most patients don’t raise the subject
and you can see why.
The good news: sleep studies are covered
by health insurance, as are the treatment
options if sleep apnea is diagnosed. A sleep
study can take place in a sleep lab or, nowadays,
at home. The Sleep Disorders Lab at South
County Hospital, accredited by the American
Academy of Sleep Medicine, is a regional
resource for the diagnosis of sleep disorders,
attracting patients from across Washington
County and beyond. Anne Hebert, MD,
pulmonologist, is the medical director of the
sleep lab and the staff are experienced, certified
polysomnographers.
If you snore, have trouble sleeping, or
wake up tired after a full night’s sleep, speak
to your doctor about a referral to the South
County Hospital Sleep Disorders Lab. For
more information, call 401 788-1667.

To Your Health
One Year Later—Westerly Medical & Wellness Center
is a Busy Place
Medical services and more draw residents right from start
Last year at this time, we were
preparing to open our Medical &
Wellness Center in Westerly. It’s hard
to believe we’ll celebrate the oneyear anniversary on May 23. Since
its opening, the
Medical &
Wellness
Louis R. Giancola
Center
President & CEO
has been
South County Health
welcomed
by the residents of Westerly and
the surrounding towns, and we are
grateful for that. All of our services
there were busy right from the
start, which confirms the need
we had recognized when we first
began planning the Center a
couple of years earlier.
During the past 12 months,
individuals of all ages and from
all walks of life have made their
way to the Medical & Wellness
Center to use the Urgent/WalkIn Care clinic, the lab and X-ray
services, physical therapy, or for
an appointment with a doctor.
Within the 32,000 sq. ft. light-filled building, there are
physicians specializing in primary care, OB/GYN, orthopedics,
dermatology, cardiology, podiatry, general surgery, wound care,
gastroenterology, and support services for diabetes, nutrition,
and medication management.
But there is far more than medical services that have
been drawing people to the building. Since its opening, we
have hosted two or more free evening lectures per month
there, on topics ranging from the hazards of radon gas; joint
replacement options; creating a birth plan; common foot
problems and treatment options; back pain; healthful cooking;
preparing a family pet for the arrival of a new baby, and much
more. We have also held a number of public flu vaccination
clinics at the Medical & Wellness Center; offered free prenatal
yoga classes on Saturday mornings; and weekly, the building
hosts a lively gathering of the
New Moms’ Support Group.
Information on all of these offerings can be found on our website
at www.southcountyhealth.org.
The medical services
provided in the building as well
as the educational and support
services we offer there reflect
our commitment to meeting
the needs of the communities
we serve. That is what drives us
and is, I believe, manifested in
myriad ways throughout the
year. That passion is reflected in
our Vision statement: “To forge
extraordinary connections with
our community that support
health at every stage of life.”
As we emerge from
winter to a beautiful Rhode
Island spring, I hope you are
enjoying all that this season
has to offer. If spring weather is inspiring you to take steps to
improve your health, we’d be honored to assist. Visit us online
and learn more about our services, our providers, classes, free
lectures, free newsletters and more.
Happy spring!

there are 120,000 ostomy
surgeries in the United States and complications can follow
if patients do not receive proper instruction for self-care after
surgery. Studies show that the support of a certified ostomy
clinician results in significant reduction in infections and
also helps with an improved quality of life for the patient.
When considering the national statistics for complications
post-ostomy can be as high as 71 percent for ileostomy and
43 percent for colostomy, the benefit of a visiting nurse
with expertise in this specialty becomes clear.
Ostomy Management Specialist certification is the first
multi-specialty ostomy certification in the U.S. offered by the
National Alliance of Wound Care and Ostomy (NAWCO),
and successful candidates are credentialed for a five-year
period.
