South Georgia Medical Center announces Larry Simpson as the Director of Sleep Services for the SGMC Sleep Center.
In this new position Simpson will oversee all aspects of the sleep center from referrals to long term patient device compliance. Simpson has been a registered polysomnography technologist since 2002.
Simpson was previously the owner and operator of Azalea Sleep Labs Inc. which is now a part of the SGMC Sleep Center. The SGMC Sleep Center began seeing patients at its new location inside the SGMC Smith Northview Campus on 4280 N. Valdosta Rd on June 14.
Simpson stated, “SGMC’s vision statement is, ‘to be the leader in improving the health, wellness and quality of life in our communities.’ I’m excited to combine my experiences and knowledge in sleep medicine with this noble healthcare system to build the best sleep center in the region. Our community deserves nothing less.”
Sleep Studies are non-invasive procedures and require a physician order. They are covered by most insurances including Medicare and Medicaid.
Simpson is currently the President of the Westbrook Dixie Community Center, a nonprofit organization that helps serve various needs within Brooks County, Georgia.
Simpson is married to Danna “Dee” and together they have six children.
