NFL Greats And Pro Player Health AllianceTeam Up With Koala Centers For Sleep Disorders To Spread Awareness Of Sleep Apnea On National Sleep Apnea Day, April 18th
Phoenix, Arizona (PRWEB) April 08, 2013
NFL players past and present are coming out in high numbers to show support for Pro Player Health Alliance'”Tackle Sleep Apnea” events. The last event in Scottsdale, Arizona brought out 25-30 NFL greats, with Tony Dorsett even flying into town. For this Phoenix event, attendees we will be seeing the likes of Larry Fitzgerlad, Roy Green, Seth Joyner, Derek Kennard, Alfonso Smith, Nick Lowery, Byron Evans, Ron Pritchard, J.D. Hill, Steve Holden, Dave Craig, Darryl Clack and Mark Walczak. Derek Kennard feels, “his brother would still be alive” if he had met Mr. Gergen four years ago. He also believes he wouldn’t be standing here today if he hadn’t met Mr. Gergen. Derek Kennard says, “David Gergen is saving lives around the counrty”.
The Pro Player Health Alliance’ national campaign has already treated over 100 former NFL players. Many players have been loyal and outspoken advocates of spreading awareness of the deadly disorder across the country. Joined with David Gergen, owner of Gergen’s Orthodontic Lab and founder of the PPHA, they are on a mission to get as many former NFL players treated across the country as they can.
David Gergen asked Dr. Rod Willey to help with this campaign because of his background of having the largest dental Sleep Apnea practice in the United States, with periods of over 100 cases per month. As President of the Koala Centers For Sleep Disorders, he now offers dental sleep center franchises with refined techniques being used in multiple locations.
Dr. Gary Core, who is hosting the upcoming PPHA event on April 18, has purchased a phenomenal Koala Sleep Center from Rod Willey which is rolling into Phoenix. This will be the third Koala Center opening and there are two more Koala openings on the horizon. Also attending the event will be Dr. Tara Griffin who joins Dr. Core as a fellow owner of a Koala Sleep Center. Dr. Griffin has made the treatment of OSA the priority of her dental career and gives credit for much of her success to Dr. Willey and the Koala Sleep Centers. She hopes to pass Dr. Willey this year as top producer of oral dental Sleep Apnea devices. Register for this event today as spots are limited.
