Pulmonary and sleep medicine incorporates two departments, sleep lab and respiratory, that deal with breathing and sleep conditions through testing and care plans.
If you get care from either departments, you could have your sleep tested in the sleep lab, you could participate in respiratory therapy outpatient testing, or have respiratory therapy services as an inpatient.

Our goal is to ensure you sleep well at night to wake up refreshed. A chronic lack of restorative sleep can result in trouble concentrating, dozing while reading, driving or watching TV, irritability, lack of energy and health problems such as heart disease, diabetes and certain forms of cancer.
A registered polysomnographer technologist will conduct an overnight study for individuals with suspected sleep disorders. The results are reviewed by Dr. Anna Youngblood, a board certified pulmonologist, who will recommend the appropriate treatment.
The Adirondack Health Sleep Lab is located in our main building. Initial polysomnographic testing is conducted by our experienced staff to detect a variety of sleep disorders.
