Sleep apnea is an invisible health issue that affects the daily lives of many people but with CPAP Pros’ new location in New Westminster, their expert care is now more accessible than ever and they’re ready to make a lasting impact on the community.
Fresh space, same care
According to CPAP Pros Office Manager Allan Tallon, the previous office was less than 500 square feet, limiting space for both the growing team and patients.
"The goal was to find a space that was convenient for existing clients but offered more room to operate efficiently," says Tallon.
"The new location in New Westminster provides exactly that and the layout makes a huge difference. It feels more open with more natural light, a proper reception area and most importantly, improved accessibility."
Comprehensive treatment for all
Many people who visit CPAP Pros are struggling with symptoms such as fatigue, snoring or daytime sleepiness. "For someone experiencing fatigue and snoring who wants to do a sleep test, the first step is to visit a family doctor or a walk-in clinic to get a referral," says Tallon. "Once the referral is sent by fax, the clinic contacts the patient to arrange a home sleep test."
For those who already have their diagnosis, CPAP Pros exceeds expectations with exceptional follow-up care, including free mobile support, coaching and flexible care plans tailored to individual needs. "Many CPAP users in the community have not had proper follow-up care, which is common in the industry. Many providers may sell equipment but do not always check in with patients after,” mentions Tallon. “This is where the clinic really shines. We also have donated supplies for patients in financial need.”
Transforming lives with CPAP Therapy
Using CPAP therapy can be a major adjustment but for many, the benefits outweigh the initial challenges. "Some adapt quickly, noticing changes within a few nights, while others take longer," notes Tallon. "Symptoms like morning headaches may disappear, energy levels can improve and many find they no longer need multiple cups of coffee or afternoon naps."
Another key improvement is the reduction in snoring, which often leads to better sleep for both patients and partners. "For many, one of the most noticeable improvements is a return to sharing a bed with their partner," Tallon adds.
Reducing barriers
Despite the benefits of CPAP therapy, some individuals hesitate to seek treatment. "It is common for people to be hesitant about seeking treatment, especially if they do not believe they have a problem," Tallon explains. Changes like wearing a mask every night or travelling with the machine can feel drastic, though Tallon notes that this is where the clinic stands out.
“If you can take the time as a clinic to provide that patient support, care and education, then that tends to be what makes the difference for most people in the end. Once they start feeling better, their mindset shifts. The benefits of better sleep, improved health and increased energy often outweigh the inconvenience of using CPAP therapy.”
