Inspire is literally a breath of fresh air!

I am Kris, a lifelong Michigander and retired high school teacher and coach. I was implanted with Inspire in May of 2018. After spending several years with moderate OSA and it's exhausting impacts, I was thrilled to find Inspire as an option to the CPAP that seemed to make sleeping (and life) worse.

Interests:

I love watching most collegiate and professional sporting events, playing golf, and enjoying time with my dog, Journey.

Why I chose Inspire therapy to treat my sleep apnea:

I chose Inspire to treat my sleep apnea because I couldn't tolerate using the CPAP device. After many years of struggling to sleep and constantly being exhausted, I was thrilled to find a new option for treating my OSA.

Why am I a patient ambassador?

I am a patient ambassador because I wanted to share with others how much Inspire has changed my life. I am able to get good, quality sleep and wake up feeling refreshed; things I never thought would be possible again. Thanks to Inspire, I am actively living and enjoying my life, not just watching it from the sidelines.
