Established in 1979, Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center’s Sleep Disorders Center is among the first in the nation dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders. Our center at Dartmouth Hitchcock Clinics Heater Road in Lebanon, New Hampshire, is accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) and offers comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders. The Sleep Disorders Center is staffed by physicians and providers specializing in sleep disorders from a variety of disciplines, including internal medicine, family medicine, neurology, pulmonary and critical care medicine, and psychology.
We also provide a Sleep Medicine Fellowship program, accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), which trains physicians from different disciplines in all aspects of sleep medicine to become sleep medicine specialists.
In addition to our Heater Road location, we also offer AASM-accredited sleep services at Dartmouth Hitchcock Clinics Manchester, Dartmouth Hitchcock Clinics Nashua, and Alice Peck Day Memorial Hospital.
