ALS Clinics and Centers
Our care team collaborates with some of the best ALS physicians and clinics in our region. These clinics emphasize hope and quality of life in a supportive, family-oriented environment, while enabling you to receive specialized care during a single visit from a multidisciplinary team of health care professionals. Additionally, a social worker is present at each of these clinics to ensure vital home and community-based services are accessible to you.
At our ALS clinics and ALS certified treatment centers, our multidisciplinary care model brings together a team of health care professionals specially trained to address the needs of people living with ALS, allowing them to receive care from each discipline during a single visit. The care team typically includes a neurologist, physical therapist, occupational therapist, respiratory therapist, nurse, dietitian, speech language pathologist, social worker, and a mental health professional.
ALS Certified Clinics
Certified Treatment Centers of Excellence has provided evidence-based, multidisciplinary ALS care and services in a supportive atmosphere with an emphasis on hope and quality of life. Each ALS clinic must meet The ALS Association’s clinical care and treatment standards, which are based on the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) Practice Parameters, participate in ALS-related research and successfully complete a comprehensive site review to be certified as a center of excellence. Achieving certification through successful completion of the program’s robust clinical and administrative reviews confirms to people living with ALS and their family members the validity and comprehensiveness of the Certified Treatment Center of Excellence’s standards of quality and implementation of best practices.
