ProPlayer Health Alliance and Padre Murphy’s Sports Grill Present Americas Largest Sleep Apnea Event
Phoenix AZ (PRWEB) January 22, 2016 -- Padre Murphy’s has supported the sporting community in Phoenix for over twenty years. Padre Murphy’s is a great spot to enjoy a beverage and a meal and on January 26 2016 you will be able to enjoy a presentation on sleep apnea by one of the nations leaders in the field. This event is presented open to the public and will be attended by NFL hero’s past and present who have dedicated themselves to raising awareness of the long term health implications of untreated sleep apnea.
Location and time of the public awareness event and fundraiser will be 6:30-close, Padre Murphy’s 4338 West Bell Road, Phoenix AZ 85308
“We will be holding the nation’s largest ever public awareness event for snoring and sleep apnea. When deciding on a venue it was decided that the best location would be one that was a fixture of the community with a reputation for supporting local causes. Padre Murphy’s is a sports oriented bar with a focus on good atmosphere and food and was clearly the best choice by any measure," said Gergen.
The Arizona Cardinals are also supporters. Current and retired NFL players will be on site highlighting the devastating impact that undiagnosed obstructive sleep apnea can have on a person’s health. NFL greats that will be in attendance include Larry Fitzgerald, Roy Green, Eric Dickerson, Seth Joyner and Marcus Allen to name just a few.
There will also be clinicians from the American Sleep and Breathing Academy to answer questions about sleep disorders and to help people who already have a sleep diagnosis achieve consistent care using their PAP machine or Oral Appliance for snoring and sleep apnea.
