Daybreak and VHSS Join Forces to Provide Sleep Apnea Therapy for Veterans Across the U.S.

Daybreak and VHSS: A New Partnership for Veterans

In a groundbreaking move for veteran health, Daybreak, a prominent company in sleep apnea solutions, has teamed up with Veterans Healthcare Supply Solutions (VHSS). This collaboration aims to expand access to oral appliance therapy (OAT) specifically for veterans suffering from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The importance of this initiative cannot be overstated, especially given the high prevalence of OSA within the veteran community, which is often underdiagnosed and undertreated.

Obstructive sleep apnea is a serious condition that affects many veterans, with studies suggesting it is one of the most common service-related ailments in the United States. OSA can lead to various health issues if left untreated, including cardiovascular problems, diabetes, and overall diminished quality of life. Many veterans face barriers to effective treatment due to the cumbersome nature of traditional Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machines, which can be uncomfortable and require ongoing adjustments. Daybreak is stepping in to offer an alternative solution that is not only clinically effective but also more user-friendly.

About the Partnership

Under the distribution agreement reached between Daybreak and VHSS, the oral appliance therapy program will become available through VA Healthcare facilities and Military Treatment Facilities (MTFs) nationwide, starting from June 22, 2026. This partnership allows eligible veterans to access a clinically proven solution—mandibular advancement devices—that are easier to use than CPAP machines. These devices can be provided directly to patients, significantly reducing barriers to treatment.

Wesley Lones, the CEO and founder of Daybreak, expressed the significance of this partnership, saying, "Millions of veterans suffer from obstructive sleep apnea, and too many of them aren't getting the treatment they deserve. This collaboration with VHSS is a crucial step toward changing that. Together, we can introduce a clinically effective alternative directly in the VA system, meeting veterans where they are."

Ryan Hurt, CEO of VHSS, highlighted the company’s commitment to serving veterans: "VHSS's mission is to deliver the highest quality clinical solutions to Veterans and Active-Duty Warfighter Patients. Adding Daybreak's oral appliance therapy program strengthens our mission immensely. Sleep apnea is one of the most prevalent but undertreated conditions in our veteran population. Our partnership gives providers at the Veterans Healthcare Administration a practical way to address this issue."

What This Means for Veterans

The implementation of Daybreak's oral appliance therapy not only addresses a critical health need for veterans but also reflects a growing recognition of the importance of patient-friendly healthcare solutions. The partnership is built on the foundation of enhancing healthcare access, ensuring that veterans have choices in their treatment options. Veterans can avoid the complications often associated with traditional therapies while receiving effective care tailored to their specific needs.

As this initiative unfolds, veterans are encouraged to reach out to their local VA facilities or Military Treatment Facilities to inquire about accessing Daybreak's Sleep Apnea Treatment System. Awareness campaigns are also set to be launched in collaboration with VHSS to educate veterans about the benefits of this innovative therapy.

This partnership serves as a model for how healthcare delivery can be improved through strategic collaborations and a focus on patient-centric solutions. With advancements in technology and a commitment to accessibility, Daybreak and VHSS aim to transform how veterans manage their health conditions—one breath at a time.
