睡眠中心|概述
As of January 2, 2021, we are asking families to use the MyChildren’s Patient Portal for all nonurgent and routine communications. This allows our staff to properly triage and direct your message to the appropriate member of your care team for a quick and complete resolution. Examples of nonurgent messages include:
- 处方续期，包括受控物质（除非您的药物）
- scheduling questions
- nonurgent clinical questions (such as questions about your care plan)
- other nonurgent questions for your provider
- ordering durable medical equipment (DME)
Using the MyChildren’s Patient Portal lets you bypass hold times on the phone and receive a reply within two business days. You can also use the portal for features such as scheduling follow-up visits at a time most convenient for you, completing pre-check-in activities, and accessing updated information on COVID-19. You can learn more and sign up for the MyChildren’s Patient Portalhere.
确保他们的孩子获得“晚安的睡眠”是许多父母的主要关注点。我们的目标是为您孩子的睡眠问题，监控进度找到最佳解决方案，并开发适合您的治疗计划。
虽然有些孩子患有睡眠问题的人会在他们成熟的时候，他们成熟，睡眠相关的症状 - 就像难以下降或睡着了，白天嗜睡和打鼾 - 可以持久和麻烦。在某些情况下，它们甚至可能是严重睡眠障碍的迹象。
睡眠问题很常见。大约25％的健康儿童在18岁以下的体验困难困难中，80％的青少年睡眠不足。睡眠问题在医疗，发育或心理健康问题的儿童中甚至更广泛。
In all children, sleep problems can be successfully diagnosed and treated through careful assessment and development of a personalized treatment plan.
Our Sleep Center was the first pediatric center of its kind nationwide, and our work is backed by decades of research that has shaped the field of pediatric sleep medicine. We have extensive expertise in helping families struggling with sleep problems ranging from the most common to the most complex. We see more than 4,000 children a year, and our doctors and nurse practitioners continue to help set the standards of care for sleep problems in children of all ages, from newborns to adolescents.
