“I've been to many sporting events in D.C., but to see all of Capital One Arena filled with people praising Jesus was something that still gives me goosebumps just thinking about it. It was an incredible night to be a part of,” said WGTS Midday Show Host Becky Alignay.

Story by Kettering Adventist HealthCare Staff

Kettering Adventist HealthCare's Sleep Center at the Kettering Medical Center (Ohio) is offering a new treatment for people with obstructive sleep apnea who don’t tolerate or benefit from CPAP therapy.

Inspire is an FDA-approved obstructive sleep apnea treatment. It’s a device that’s implanted under the skin of the neck and chest during an outpatient procedure. The device is controlled by a small, handheld remote. While you sleep, Inspire delivers mild stimulation to key airway muscles, allowing the airway to remain open–without a mask, hose, or machine.
