West Care Sleep Therapy

What West Care Sleep Therapy does

West Care Sleep Therapy Inc. is a British Columbia–based, privately held healthcare service provider founded in 1996 that specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). The company operates an accredited clinic network across the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley, with locations in Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Surrey, and a mobile Vancouver office, and holds accreditation from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia (CPSBC) for OSA diagnosis and treatment under its DAP standards. Its clinical workflow combines physician referrals — supported by EMR-integrated referral forms — with a free online STOP-BANG self-assessment tool that enables direct patient intake.

The core technology stack is built around third-party CPAP hardware from Philips Respironics (DreamStation 2) and ResMed (AirSense 11), Level 3 Home Sleep Apnea Testing (HSAT) for at-home diagnosis, and OEM remote-monitoring platforms (AirView, DreamMapper, MyAir). All HSAT results are independently scored by Registered Polysomnographic Technologists and interpreted by Certified Sleep Specialist Physicians before being returned to the referring physician. West Care layers proprietary service programs on top of this hardware, including a 5-year CPAP replacement program with dedicated coordination, 24-hour emergency on-call support, free annual follow-up appointments, mask fitting and therapy optimization, and remote therapy adjustment.

The revenue model mixes professional clinical services (diagnostic testing, mask fitting, follow-up care) with hardware sales of CPAP machines, masks, tubing, filters, and accessories, plus recurring supply and replacement revenue. HSAT is provided at no patient cost via the physician referral pathway; CPAP equipment is funded primarily through extended health insurance plans and government programs (Ministry of Social Housing, First Nations Health Authority, Veterans Affairs Canada, WorkSafe BC, RCMP), with interest-free payment plans for uninsured patients. As of March 2023, the company was actively managing the Philips PAP device recall, having completed approximately 70% of primary device replacements.
