Additions help reduce wait times and increase appointment availability
MONTROSE, Colo. (Feb. 27, 2026) – The Montrose Regional Health (MRH) Sleep Clinic, located at 900 S. Fourth St., continues to expand access to specialized sleep care for patients across the Western Slope.
Paula Morgan, a nurse practitioner, joined MRH on Feb. 27, 2026. Morgan earned her Bachelor of Science from Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama. She is board certified by the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners and holds Basic Life Support certification. Morgan brings 12 years of experience in sleep medicine and will work alongside Dr. Gilbert and Dr. Salem to support growing demand for sleep medicine services in the region.
“My husband and I fell in love with Montrose during a visit last year, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to serve this community,” Morgan said. “Sleep disorders affect nearly every aspect of a person’s health and daily life. I look forward to helping patients experience the life-changing benefits of restorative sleep.”
In addition, Amr Salem, MD, recently earned board certification in sleep medicine from the American Board of Internal Medicine. Board certification reflects advanced training and expertise in diagnosing and treating sleep disorders. The addition of a second provider will help reduce wait times and expand appointment availability for patients seeking evaluation and treatment.
The MRH Sleep Clinic offers home and in-lab sleep studies, as well as iron deficiency testing. Treatment options include cognitive behavioral therapy, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and Inspire therapy, an implantable alternative for eligible patients. Surgical options are available for severe cases when less invasive treatments are unsuccessful. In addition to treating OSA, the clinic provides care for insomnia, narcolepsy, parasomnia, and restless legs syndrome.
The MRH Sleep Clinic provides comprehensive evaluation and treatment for a wide range of sleep disorders. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call (970) 240-7101 or visit montrosehealth.com/sleep.
