WASHINGTON – The American Sleep Apnea Association (ASAA) has rebranded as the Wellness, Sleep & Circadian Network (WSCN).
WSCN will build upon the 35-year-old ASAA's legacy of advocacy, education, research and support for people with sleep apnea, while expanding its reach to address the growing global demand for guidance around whole-day health.
The organization says it is redefining what it means to live well and make every moment count, acknowledging that life happens 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
"When we were building out our new direction, the concern was that no one knows what circadian means,” said Dr. Anne Marie Morse, chair of the board of directors for WSCN and a nationally recognized leader in sleep and circadian medicine. “My response? Exactly. That's our purpose. Share the words to what we experience across all 24 hours."
Existing programs like the AWAKE Peer Mentor Program, CPAP Assistance Program and Patient Leadership in Research (PLIR) will remain pillars of support. These are now complemented by:
-
Expanded resources on circadian health, helping individuals better understand their internal body clocks
-
A more integrated approach to health and wellness, connecting sleep with mental, emotional, and physical performance
-
A global community movement, uniting patients, researchers, clinicians, and advocates around the power of 24-hour health.
