Tony Dorsett Has Teamed Up With Pro Player Health Alliance To Offer Testing For Sleep Apnea From Home
Dallas, TX (PRWEB) October 07, 2013 -- Tony Dorsett, who has been heavily involved in the "Tackle Sleep Apnea" campaign, has opened his own personal page within the Pro Player Health Alliance (PPHA) website where anyone can order a home sleep test. Home sleep tests measure oxygen levels during the night, how many times one stops breathing and for how long. By visiting the PPHA website at http://proplayersleep.com and clicking on Tony Dorsett on the home page, a potential sleep apnea patient can begin the process by submitting their information and being called back by a representative. The home sleep tests are the newest addition to the "Tackling Sleep Apnea" campaign launched by Pro Player Health Alliance.
The campaign was brought to life by David Gergen, President of PPHA and Gergen's Orthodontic Lab last year. Since then he has only gained momentum treating over 160 former professional athletes and educating over 1,000 people in communities throughout the country on the harmful effects of leaving it untreated by hosting free public events. David Gergen says, "I urge anyone, if possible, to come to these events. And if you don't have an event in your area, visit the website and be proactive in educating yourself. Sleep apnea is real and the effects are real. Why let it go untreated?" David also mentions Pro Player Health Alliance is holding a free public event in Long Island, New York December 5, 2013.
Tony Dorsett recently took part in a Pro Player Health Alliance commercial on sleep apnea as a way of showing his support. He has, along with Roy Green, Derek Kennard and Mark Walczak, mentioned how being treated for sleep apnea has changed his life.
