Free forum in Sequim to consider ‘Sleep in health and disease’

Dr. Usha Reddi of Olympic Medical Center’s Sleep Medicine Clinic, will present “Sleep in health and disease,” a free WOW! Working on Wellness Forum at 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, March 11, at Trinity United Methodist Church, 100 S. Blake Ave.

Seating is limited, so attendees are encouraged to arrive early.

At the presentation, Reddi will provide an overview of common sleeping disorders and how sleep works for people at different stages of their life.

During her initial visit with a new patient, Dr. Reddi said she likes to learn not only about their disease but also about various aspects of their life at an individual level. She said enjoys educating them about their health and empowering them with the knowledge and tools to be an active participant in managing their condition.
