ABOUT US
Background
The
Georgia Association of Sleep Professionals, established in July 2008, is a
statewide association, that strives to enhance the quality of human life by
supporting an environment in which sleep medicine professionals can provide the
highest quality of care. Our members are physicians, techologists, researchers,
students, and sleep centers and labs, all providers within the specialty of
sleep medicine. All Georgia sleep medicine professionals are encouraged to be
actively involved in GASP. GASP is a widely useful tool for dialogue and action
for all issues concerning sleep professionals and there are many opportunities
for involvement and collaboration. Our strength is measured in numbers and we
need the support of all active sleep professionals to continue our efforts. If
you so if you are not currently a member, we strongly urge you to JOIN TODAY!
