ALS IS A TOUGH DISEASE. IT CALLS FOR AN ORGANIZED AGGRESSIVE APPROACH. WE START BY CONFIRMING THE DIAGNOSIS AND EXCLUDING ALS MIMICS. IF ALS IS CONFIRMED WE USE THE LATEST DISEASE-MODIFYING THERAPIES TO SLOW PROGRESSION. OUR MULTI-DISCIPLINARY TEAM IDENTIFIES SPECIFIC SYMPTOMS AND PROBLEMS AND PROVIDES A WIDE RANGE OF OPTIONS FOR DEALING WITH THEM. WE ARE ALWAYS ON THE LOOKOUT FOR NEW THERAPIES IN OUR ACTIVE RESEARCH PROGRAM. ALL OF US HERE ARE ENTHUSIASTIC AND HOPEFUL!
