We provide patients with comprehensive care involving multiple specialties, so that patients can receive many services at one visit. We are the largest ALS Center in New York outside of New York City, and are a referral center for central and western New York State.
The Center is one of only a handful of centers that have received certification by both the Muscular Dystrophy Association and the ALS Association. The ALS Clinic at Upstate is part of the ALS Association's national network of Certified Treatment Centers of Excellence in Clinical Care and Research.
We provide evidence-based, multidisciplinary ALS care and services in a supportive atmosphere with an emphasis on hope and quality of life. The clinic team consists of ALS specialized doctors, ALS researchers, nurse, clinic coordinator/social worker, dietician, respiratory therapist, physical therapist, occupational therapist, speech language pathologist, spiritual palliative care, representatives from MDA and ALS association.
The Center is nationally recognized for its research into possible treatments for ALS, and patients are given the opportunity to participate in a variety of clinical trials.
