Does a peaceful night's sleep seem like a far-fetched dream? You're not alone! There are three main types of sleep apnea: obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) which happens when an obstruction in the airway occurs from muscles/tissues; central sleep apnea (CSA), which is a less common type and occurs when the brain doesn’t communicate to the breathing muscles correctly resulting in periods of not breathing and no effort of breathing, and mixed sleep apnea which is a combination of both OSA and CSA. All types can be treated by an expert.
Bay Area Hospital's Sleep Center is here to help identify and treat any underlying causes so that you can get the better sleep you deserve.

One of our sleep center technicians said, "I evaluate brain waves for sleep stages (EEG), any breathing irregularities from flow waveforms, cardiac arrhythmias (EKG), limb movements (EMG), chin tone (CEMG), body position, snoring, oxygen saturation, heart rate, and patient observations. "These all allow us to look for any abnormalities that must be relayed to the physician."

Spring is here—a time for renewed hope and new health goals. Here are five ways to boost your well-being:

1. Get outside. Walking, biking, or hiking increases happiness and energy. If you sit all day, try to move more.

2. Stay hydrated. Drink enough water every day for benefits like improved cognitive function, temperature regulation, joint lubrication, waste removal, and skin hydration. It boosts energy, aids digestion, prevents kidney stones, and supports nutrient transportation.

3. Eat fresh, in-season foods. Choose colorful fruits and vegetables for better nutrition and health.

4. Manage allergies. Use a saline spray to flush irritants, and talk to your provider if you have severe symptoms. If you've got more severe allergic conditions, like asthma, limit the time spent outdoors, or check with your provider for care options.

5. Prioritize sleep. It's essential for physical, mental, and emotional health. It's also the time of day when the body heals itself, repairs tissues, consolidates memories, and removes waste from the body and brain. Lack of sleep can contribute to serious, chronic health issues like heart disease and diabetes. Most adults need 7-9 hours of sleep a night.

We're sharing our monthly BAHD Board and Finance recap from the March 17 meeting:

1. 𝙌𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮 & 𝙋𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙎𝙖𝙛𝙚𝙩𝙮 𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙜𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨
Results from our recent Culture of Safety survey were shared, with a 70% staff participation rate. Despite the recent turmoil and challenges of the past 5 years, since the last survey, the organization showed improvement.

2. 𝙁𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙯𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙪𝙚𝙨
For the third month in a row, the hospital had a small positive margin. The focus has been on creating financial performance stability through disciplined expense management.

3. 𝙇𝙚𝙜𝙞𝙨𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙀𝙛𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙨 𝘼𝙙𝙫𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙣𝙜
House Bill 4075 passed both the House and the Senate on March 6 and is now awaiting the Governor’s signature, which we expect will occur. The bill provides for a loan guarantee so the hospital can successfully refinance its debt, allowing us to get out of default, and avoid a large balloon payment in 2030.

4. 𝘼𝙣𝙣𝙪𝙖𝙡 𝘼𝙪𝙙𝙞𝙩 𝙍𝙚𝙨𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙨
The Board reviewed the 2025 annual audit results from Baker Tilly US, LLP.

Celebrating the legacy of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, we remember his remarkable journey from being kidnapped at 16 and enslaved, to escaping and returning to convert the Irish to Christianity. Despite his Irish notoriety, Saint Patrick was British. He was born to Roman parents in Scotland or Wales in the late fourth century. The day is filled with legends, like him driving snakes out of Ireland and using the shamrock to explain the trinity. While Ireland honors the day with religious feasts, it's become a massive celebration in the United States as well, with New York City boasting the world's oldest and largest St. Patrick's Day parade. Over 31.5 million Americans claim to have Irish ancestry - so here's to St. Patrick!🍀
