ATTENTION PRACTITIONERS!
COMMUNICATE WITH PATIENTS AND STAFF ABOUT COVID-19!

It is recommended you share information about coronavirus with your team members and patients. As a public service, we are offering a sample letter you can use for patient emails, social media posts and for "snail" mailings. You may customize the letter to conform with your practice's protocols.

In addition, there's an infographic from Johns Hopkins University that describes important aspects of the disease - print and post around the office!

In Memoriam

Dr. William Charles Dement
(July 29, 1928 - June 17, 2020)

We all stand on the shoulders of giants.

The AAPMD is saddened by the loss of Dr. Dement, one of the most important pioneers in the development of sleep medicine. Dr. Howard Hindin offers these words in his memory...

Dr. William “Bill” Dement, the “Father of Sleep Medicine,” passed away at the age of 91. He was an American sleep disorder pioneer and founder of Stanford's Sleep Research Center.

Dr. Dement’s early interest and research led to the creation of the sleep medicine specialty. We stand on the shoulders of this pioneer. He established the path we follow to improve health through better sleep, to save and restore lives through the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders, and to recognize that “drowsiness is a red alert."

We were honored to have Dr. Dement appear at AAPMD's symposium on airway issues in Oakland on June 14, 2013 where he was interviewed by AAPMD’s co-founder, Dr. Michael Gelb. Take a few minutes to enjoy the video and honor this great leader, teacher and researcher.
