Richard
Haslip is the owner; CEO is a Registered Sleep
Technologist and Registered Respiratory Therapist with
over 30 years of clinical, critical care, and
rehabilitation experience. He first entered the sleep
field at the request of physicians in 1986. “This was the
beginning time for recognition of sleep apnea as a real
health threat” We were now able to have therapy available
to treat sleep apnea. The testing was very labor intense
with equipment patched together, but it was a beginning.
Now all our equipment is computerized and digital to give
very fast quality results.” |
