Welcome everyone to the Melanin Initiative!
“In healthcare, there is often too much information and not enough time. Here at The Melanin Initiative, we avoid TMI by breaking things down into language you can understand, we create a safe space to ask your questions, and share our nursing perspective without taking too much of your time."
Today we're talking about sleep apnea.

-Discuss what causes sleep apnea and the different types
-List the risk factors for developing sleep apnea
-Name the short and long-term safety concerns
-Discuss the steps to getting diagnosed
-Name the most common treatment options
