About Awake In America
Awake In America is a national non-profit Pennsylvania corporation focused on sleep and sleep disorder issues. In meeting this mission, Awake In America helps others launch support and community education groups around the United States.
The Philadelphia, Pennsylvania-based Awake In America organization is also involved in educational outreach to health care providers; elected officials and other representatives at various levels of government; public education and awareness programs; corporate and business outreach, education, and awareness; and legislative advocacy.
Launched in July 2004, Awake In America began working on creating awareness among primary care physicians, as well as other health care professionals. In October 2004, Awake In America launched its xPAP Donation and Relief Program to get essential equipment to treat sleep apnea into the hands of those without health insurance or the financial resources to obtain the equipment. In January 2005, Awake In America announced its Sleep Study Relief Program to help individuals without health insurance or the financial means obtain sleep studies to confirm or diagnose obstructive sleep apnea so they may begin CPAP therapy.
In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, Awake In America launched Operation Restore CPAP, which assisted almost 100 individuals who lost their CPAP equipment during the storm. The program was later expanded to assist victims of Hurricane Rita, as well.
