Durango, Colo. - Mercy Regional Medical Center's Four Corners Sleep Disorders Center recently received program accreditation from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM).
"The American Academy of Sleep Medicine congratulates Four Corners Sleep Disorders Center on fulfilling the high standards required for receiving accreditation as a sleep disorders center," said Dr. Clete Kushida, AASM president.
