Max Starlin, PA-C, will present a program on obstructive sleep apnea at the next session of Healthy U at noon on Thursday, March 15, at Cass County Health System, in Atlantic. Obstructive Sleep Apnea is a serious disorder that causes people to stop breathing intermittently as they sleep. It is a very common disorder that affects millions of Americans. Starlin says “Obstructive sleep apnea is one of those problems that can really wreak havoc on us. People suffer from headaches, they’re tired all day, and they just don’t feel well, which has a huge impact on their quality of life. Thankfully, there are a number of great treatments to help people who suffer from this condition.”

During Healthy U, Starlin will discuss the types of sleep apnea, their causes, and the variety of treatment options. Healthy U is a free educational lunch series at Cass County Health System held monthly in Conference Room 2. The public is invited and welcome to attend, but reservations are required as lunch is provided for all attendees. Call 712-243-7479 to reserve your seat.
