The American Sleep Apnea Association was founded in 1990 with a goal to administer and nurture a new model of sleep apnea peer support groups. Adam Amdur has been the Chief Patient Officer  since 2014 and in a wide ranging conversation we talk about the work of the ASAA, dispel some of the myths and misperceptions about sleep apnea, and discover how patients can find help and support from the ASAA.
