Mid
Coast Hospital's Sleep Disorders Center may be
just what your doctor orders for diagnosis and treatment
of your sleep problems.
Difficulty
falling or staying asleep is not uncommon. About half

and others sleep problems are all treatable.

staff with over 35 combined years in this progressive
field. The center has the most advanced diagnostic
tools and a warm, comfortable environment for diagnosing
your sleep problems.
The
