WNPC NYC Telemedicine and Sleep Lab
The Telemedicine Suite and Sleep Lab share the eighth floor of the main building at Doc Weston's Bronx, combining the remote care program and the sleep medicine center on a single floor where the acoustic requirements of both programs reinforce each other -- the telemedicine rooms need soundproofing for private consultations, and the sleep lab needs soundproofing because it is a sleep lab.
Telemedicine Suite¶
The NYC telemedicine suite follows the Baltimore model -- private consultation rooms with professional video/audio setups, a coordination center managing multi-state appointments, dedicated IT support, and an accommodation coordinator for patients with complex accessibility needs. The platform supports real-time captioning, ASL interpreter integration, and screen reader compatibility as default features.
The NYC suite serves a five-borough patient population alongside the national WNPC telemedicine network, and the scale of NYC's chronically ill and disabled population makes the telemedicine program a significant portion of the site's patient volume. Patients in Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, and Staten Island who cannot travel to Hunts Point access WNPC care through the telemedicine program, as do patients across New York State and the broader tristate area.
The bilingual platform operates in English and Spanish with the same fluency as the in-person clinical spaces. A Spanish-speaking patient connecting from their apartment in Washington Heights encounters a Spanish-language interface, a Spanish-speaking provider, and the same belief-first clinical relationship that in-person patients receive.
Sleep Lab¶
The sleep lab follows the Baltimore model -- soundproofed double-door entry, a reception alcove for sensory transition, premium suites (queen beds, en-suite bathrooms, personal climate control) and standard suites for routine overnight studies, a full sleep medicine program including MSLT, CPAP/BiPAP fitting, circadian rhythm assessment, and behavioral sleep medicine.
The eighth-floor location provides the vertical separation from street-level noise that sleep study requires. Hunts Point is an industrial neighborhood with 24-hour truck traffic, and the Sleep Lab's acoustic treatment must work harder than Baltimore's to achieve the same silence. The soundproofing is medical-grade and layered -- the double doors, the suite walls, the ceiling and floor treatments all contribute to an environment where the roar of the South Bronx fades to nothing and a patient can sleep in genuine quiet.
