About Us

The Healthy Heart Sleep Program (HHSP) integrates the practices of cardiology and sleep medicine in a comprehensive plan designed to educate and train cardiologists and their staff to evaluate, diagnose and treat patients whose cardiac diseases are complicated by sleep breathing disorders.

HHSP will create and manage a fully operational sleep disorder breathing lab for the cardiologist with a minimal capital investment required by the practice. In addition, HHSP will source certified staff and equipment while providing educational expertise and marketing support for doctors and their patients. HHSP will carefully manage patient compliance and outcomes so that each cardiology practice will be able to achieve documented improvement in their patient's cardiovascular health and maintain the highest standard of care.
