The Somerset Sleep Consultants Center, located at 245 Union Ave., Suite 2A, Bridgewater, NJ, has been granted accreditation by The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM).

AASM is the national accrediting body for sleep disorders centers and laboratories. AASM accreditation is the gold standard by which the medical community and the public can evaluate sleep medicine services. The Standards for Accreditation ensure that sleep medicine providers’ display and maintain proficiency in areas such as testing procedures and policies, patient safety and follow-up, and physician and staff training.

Furthermore, Dr. Jack Lee, board certified sleep specialist in the same program, added, “By upholding the Standards of Accreditation, we show that we are resolved in advancing our program as well as the field of sleep medicine altogether.”
