The California Sleep Society (CSS) has been organized for scientific and educational purposes, and to act as a voice for sleep professionals in the State of California. The CSS promotes and provides education in polysomnography and sleep medicine as well as increased public awareness of the field. The CSS encourages and assists in the advancement of scientific and technical standards of polysomnographic technology, and promotes the highest standards of training and qualifications for sleep medicine physicians and polysomnographic technologists. The CSS endeavors to protect and preserve the public trust in sleep medicine physicians and polysomnographic technologists by promoting the highest level of clinical standards for patient care and safety in order to produce the highest quality of polysomnographic data and sleep disorders treatment.

The CSS has identified as its first item of action to demonstrate and insure that Sleep Medicine procedures are conducted by the best trained, best qualified personnel in California. CSS wants to assure that patients in California have ready access to reliable, efficacious and cost effective sleep medicine. Toward that end the CSS is deliberating with the RCB, the AASM, the AAST, California legislators and other State medical organizations to determine how best to demonstrate and maintain the highest level of service quality in California. Progress has already been demonstrated by the Directors of CSS and it will continue to a timely, successful conclusion.

Congratulations to the members of the California Sleep Society!!!
