MyChart
Our multidisciplinary team consists of a neuromuscular neurologist, physical therapist, clinical nutritionist, speech therapist, and occupational therapist and is dedicated to patients with a suspected or established amyotrophic lateral sclerosis diagnosis.
This gives you a convenient, one-stop opportunity to confirm your diagnosis, optimize medications, and receive evaluations for therapy and prescriptions for medical equipment, as needed.
After your evaluation, the multidisciplinary team will create an individualized care plan and connect you and your caregivers with resources to help manage your disease.
