TRU Centre for Respiratory Health and Sleep Science

Sleep Centre Clinic

Due to unforeseen logistical and resource challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, our clinic has made the difficult decision to stop performing 24-Hour Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) until further notice. The TRU Respiratory Clinic is also unable to perform Level 3 Home Sleep Testing due to new accreditation requirements that our program structure cannot support. All referrals for 24-Hour Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring and Level 3 Sleep Testing must be sent to an alternate provider. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience or delays in care this may cause. Please contact us at 250-371-5952 with any questions. We continue to accept pediatric sleep assessment referrals for Dr. Allyson Davey, but our clinic does not perform pediatric Level 3 Sleep Testing. Campus Map
