]]> RIVERSIDE, CA – January 1, 2026 – Pacific Pulmonary Medical Group Sleep Center in
Riverside has maintained accreditation from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine for 10
consecutive years, demonstrating its commitment to the provision of high-quality care for people
who have sleep problems.
“The American Academy of Sleep Medicine congratulates Pacific Pulmonary Medical Group
Sleep Center on continuing to meet the rigorous standards necessary to maintain accreditation for
sleep services,” said AASM President Dr. Anita V. Shelgikar. “AASM accreditation is the gold
standard in sleep care, reflecting a commitment to delivering high-quality, patient-centered
services that help people sleep better and live healthier lives.”
AASM-accredited sleep centers provide diagnostic and therapeutic care for people who have
problems related to sleep and alertness. Sleep disorders include obstructive sleep apnea, chronic
insomnia, restless legs syndrome, and narcolepsy.
To receive and maintain accreditation for a five-year period, a sleep center must meet or exceed
all standards for professional health care as designated by the AASM. These standards address
core areas such as personnel, facility and equipment, policies and procedures, data acquisition,
patient care, and quality assurance. Additionally, the sleep center’s goals must be clearly stated
and include plans for positively affecting the quality of medical care in the community it serves.
The AASM accredited a sleep disorders center for the first time in 1977. Today there are more
than 2,300 AASM-accredited sleep centers across the country.
Pacific Pulmonary Medical Group Sleep Center is directed by Ahmed S El-Bershawi, MD,
FAASM, and is located at 4234 Riverwalk Pkwy 250, Riverside.
The AASM is a medical society for physicians, researchers, and other health care professionals
in the field of sleep medicine. As the national accrediting body for sleep disorders centers, the

AASM advances sleep care and enhances sleep health to improve lives.
