With over ten years of experience helping physicians diagnose and treat over 100 known sleep disorders affecting both children and adults, Merit’s fifteen (15) Chicagoland locations offer the largest network of quality diagnostic sleep testing centers. Offering all-new, state-of-the-art sleep testing facilities each with private bedroom/bathroom suites and fully accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (the industry’s “gold standard” for care), physicians and patients can rest assured they will receive the highest quality of services from the most qualified, customer friendly sleep professionals. As a family-owned business, we at Merit are very proud to say and demonstrate to our customers that “sleep” testing and treatment is our core competency. As life’s economic and personal pressures continue to challenge our daily lives, quality sleep takes on an entirely more important role in the lives of Americans. Considering that sleep is critical to one’s physical and mental health, one in four Americans suffers from a sleep disorder, approximately 80% are currently undiagnosed and that untreated sleep disorders are directly linked to cardiac disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, sexual dysfunction and other health conditions, proper screening and treatment is necessary to assure quality of life.
Our independent, community-based Medical Directors, each specifically boarded in sleep medicine, form the cutting-edge foundation of our comprehensive clinical programs. While the timely and accurate diagnosis of the sleep disorder is critical, Merit’s continuum of care for treatment options and ongoing patient follow-up provide the measurable outcomes differentiation that makes us unique and clearly the “right” choice for physicians and patients! Our hundreds of high quality referring physicians and our thousands of annual patients will attest to their satisfaction with our facilities and service!After extensive market research, Merit was able to achieve a new milestone this past year with its successful development of strategic partnerships with the Resurrection Health Care System and the Alexian Brothers Health Network. These important partnerships form the foundation of service, research, education and training that are cornerstones of the Centers of Excellence Program in Sleep Medicine which is also a new “first” for Chicagoland.
We truly hope that you will find Merits’ facilities and services exceed your expectations. Whether you’re a prospective new business partner, a physician seeking to provide the highest quality sleep disorder testing and treatment for your patients or you’re a prospective patient requiring testing and treatment, choose the experts that care. Choose Merit Sleep Centers and the Merit family of companies!
Sincerely,
John F. Harter
President
