Non-Compliant CPAP Patient Finds Medicare Approved Herbst Device Through Pro Player Health Alliance is Just What He Needs
Phoenix, Arizona (PRWEB) April 07, 2013
Pro Player Health Alliance delivered several patients to the Koala Center For Sleep Disorders this week from NFL greats to Mitch Fletcher, Chief Engineer of the Human Space Business Segment at Honeywell, for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). Mr. Fletcher, like many others, has gone years without knowing of the possibility that OSA could be affecting him. After hearing about the deadly disorder from President David Gergen of Pro Player Health Alliance, Mr. Fletcher contacted Dr. Core of Koala Sleep Centers to get treated immediately.
He has worked at Honeywell for over twenty-five years and was looking to ultimately improve his daily productivity by treating his Sleep Apnea when he decided to try CPAP. “CPAP seemed to be the solution for my Sleep Apnea, but after wearing it for a few hours I knew it wasn’t for me. When David told me I could be treated with an oral appliance I went in to Dr. Core’s office as soon as I could”.
Mr. Fletcher directly supervises over 360 engineers on a daily basis and expresses how important it is to be alert and awake for the entire day. After just one week of wearing the appliance, he noticed a significant difference in the lack of fatigue he had compared to how he felt during the day before being treated. Mr. Fletcher also found an interesting side effect; in a week’s time without changing his day-to-day routine, he found out he had lost five pounds. He stated, “Not only does the Herbst device improve production at work, but it improves quality of daily life”.
Mr. Fletcher was so impressed by the results, he asked to speak at the upcoming Pro Player Health Alliance Event on April 18th at the Sheraton Crescent Hotel at 7:00 PM. This event will have former and current NFL greats in attendance such as Larry Fitzgerald, Roy Green, Mark Walczak, and Derek Kennard. Registration for this event is free to the public and is intended to spread awareness of the deadly disorder, Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
