St. Luke's HealthNow Episode Centers on Advances in Sleep Medicine

The next episode of St. Luke’s HealthNow will air on Monday, May 20, 2024, at 6:30 p.m. on WFMZ, Channel 69. The episode explores topics including sleep disorders, treatments and advancements in sleep medicine at St. Luke’s University Health Network (SLUHN). 

The episode features a panel of experts in sleep medicine from SLUHN:

• Matthew Smith, DO, neurology, sleep medicine

• Gowtham Narla, MD, sleep medicine, internal medicine

• David Cohen, MD, section chief, sleep medicine

“Sleep itself, through research over the more recent years, has been found to be keenly tied to different processes, specifically sleep deprivation and certain sleep disorders,” said Smith. “The risk is not just being tired the next day. It’s much greater than that.”

Hosted by Ashley Russo, founder and executive producer of ASR Media, St. Luke’s HealthNow is a co-production of ASR Media and SLUHN.
