In this special episode of the Inside Family Medicine podcast, brought to you by Resmed, host Darren Sextro talks with family physician James Bigham, MD, MPH, FAAFP, about how he has successfully integrated sleep health and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) management into his practice.
He discusses the well-established connection between OSA and hypertension, and explains how screening and treatment can become a natural part of chronic disease management.
The conversation highlights the barriers he’s faced in practice, from uncertainty around role ownership to patient hesitation, and the practical solutions he’s implemented to make sleep and OSA care more feasible in primary care settings. The discussion covers the importance of early diagnosis and therapy referrals, and outlines effective workflow strategies for primary care teams.
