Celebrating the Opening of the
Holy Rosary Medical Center Sleep Disorders Center

Holy Rosary medical Center is pleased to announce the opening of our new Sleep Disorders Center! The new innovative facility includes over 4,000 square feet equipped with: State-of-the-art sleep systems (computers, monitors, cameras), four sound proof patient rooms, and two caregiver rooms.

The center provides a cozy, at-home feeling, with comfortable beds, all new amenities, large walk-in showers, soft lighting, and custom linen. All rooms are sound proof to provide a calm atmosphere free of noise and light. Patients can enjoy a comfortable night’s sleep while specialists monitor their sleep patterns. Rooms and showers for disabled people are available.

Caregiver rooms are available for parents of pediatric patients, those traveling long distances to the HRMC Sleep Disorders Center, and others accompanying sleep study patients. These rooms allow caregivers to stay overnight near patients.

The HRMC Sleep Disorders Center is the only facility of its kind in Eastern Oregon and Western Idaho. HRMC’s Sleep Disorders Center sees a wide variety of patients, and is one of the only centers equipped to treat pediatric patients. We provide care to patients as young as 18 months of age, which requires specialized equipment and a higher level of monitoring.

Holy Rosary Medical Center’s Sleep Disorders Center offers a full range of testing for sleep disorders, such as: Sleep Apnea, insomnia, other sleep-related breathing disorders, and much more. Daytime sleep testing is also available for patients who work exclusively during the night and sleep during the day.

The Medical Director of the Sleep Disorders Center is Patrick Plummer, M.D. who is a Diplomat, of the American Board of Sleep Medicine and an Ear, Nose, and Throat Specialist. HRMC Sleep Disorders Center staff includes two licensed Respiratory Therapists, a Registered Polysomnographic Technologist, and a Polysomnographic Technician who all specialize in sleep disorders.
