Kami Smith was born and raised in the area, and has been a Registered Respiratory Therapist for 12 years. She worked out of province, and returned “home” in 2021. “The pandemic did me in” she says.”I couldn’t get home to see family often, like before, and I knew I couldn’t maintain that any longer, it was time to come home”

She maintains a part time role in the hospital environment doing acute care, and spends the rest of her time here at this clinic.  Kami has worked part time throughout her respiratory career for other vendors, which helped her learn the business and how to treat different scenarios. When she herself was diagnosed with mild sleep apnea back in 2020, she became more passionate about treating it, and all the types of disorders that can be affected by it. “I didn’t know I even had an issue, until I felt so much better, after fixing it” she says, when speaking about her diagnosis of mild sleep apnea. “The chronic headaches stopped, the constant fatigue wasn’t there anymore. My thoughts were more clear and concise”

She had considered, while away, starting her own clinic as there was a gap between Moncton and Sussex.
In June 2022 she did just that. “We are a small area, but we take in a wide area of rural residents who don’t always like to travel to the city if they don’t have to. They like the kind, laid back atmosphere, and the personal ‘down home’ service we can offer them”

Kami prides herself in being a clinician first, and a salesperson second. She maintains a home in the area and enjoys her sense of community.

The mission of Tri County Sleep Clinic Ltd. is to provide reliable, honest, respectful and confidential service- helping their patients to feel as good as they can, and treat the very common disorder of sleep apnea, to then treat the many subsequent health issues caused by it.
