In order to better serve the surrounding community, South Nassau Communities Hospital partnered with a nationally recognized company specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders. This Sleep Lab was combined with South Nassau Communities Hospital bariatric treatment program as most patients suffering from this condition can also develop sleeping problems. As the lead architect, JRS Architect, P.C. coordinated identifying program requirements between the two parties in order to develop a cohesive design. These requirements included compliance with guidelines of Article 12 for Healthcare as enforced by the New York State Department of Health.

The final solution was unique in that patient treatment rooms departed from a traditional clinic style setting. Rather, they were designed as a bedroom, similar to a hotel type atmosphere so to accommodate patients undergoing an overnight stay. All patient observation rooms were designed as single occupancy bedrooms and included king size beds, flat screen televisions with VCR/VHS players and private bathrooms with walk in showers. The facility was ready to treat patients just one day after construction was completed. End users have been pleased with the facility which has been well received by their patients.
