DARIEN, IL – The American Academy of Sleep Medicine recently recognized four sleep centers for maintaining AASM accreditation for 40 continuous years, reflecting their long-standing dedication to providing high-quality care for people with sleep problems.

The AASM honored these programs during SLEEP 2025, the annual meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies, held June 8–11 in Seattle. The four programs are:

  • Baylor Scott and White Sleep Institute in Temple, TX
  • Intermountain Sleep Disorders Center in Salt Lake City, UT
  • Methodist Hospital Sleep Disorders Center in Saint Louis Park, MN
  • Southern California Pulmonary & Sleep Disorders Medical Center, Inc. in Thousand Oaks, CA

AASM-accredited sleep centers offer comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic care for people with sleep and alertness issues. Commonly treated disorders include obstructive sleep apnea, chronic insomnia, restless legs syndrome, and narcolepsy.

To earn and maintain accreditation, a sleep center must meet rigorous AASM standards across key areas such as personnel, facilities, policies, data collection, patient care, and quality assurance. Accreditation is granted in five-year increments. Additionally, the sleep center’s goals must be clearly stated and include plans for positively affecting the quality of medical care in the community it serves.

The AASM began accrediting sleep centers in 1977. Today, more than 2,300 sleep centers across the U.S. are AASM-accredited, representing a national commitment to excellence in sleep medicine.
