Welcome to The Sleep Clinics!
In 2005, Dr. Ron Cridland established the Kelowna Sleep Clinic. This was the first publicly funded, private sleep lab in Western Canada. We have expanded to multiple locations through the Interior of BC including clinics in Penticton, Kelowna, Vernon, Salmon Arm and Kamloops. We are accredited with the College Of Physicians and Surgeons of BC. All the doctor visits and sleep studies are covered under the Medical Services Plan of BC. Patients must be referred by a physician. We receive referrals primarily from the Interior of BC but we do see patients from all over BC, Prairies, and Yukon.
