ALS care is a team effort.
Receiving a diagnosis of an incurable disease, like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), can be overwhelming and scary. You’ll want answers to all your questions quickly and will want to know what to expect moving forward.
That’s where the ALS experts at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center excel. We know how to best explain what’s happening to you and how to anticipate your needs before changes in our specialized ALS Clinic.
We’ve assembled a team of ALS specialists that spans many disciplines across the hospital to care for you, prolonging your survival and giving you the best quality of life possible. These health care providers are not only some of the most experienced and innovative in their respective fields, but they’re also passionate about serving people with ALS and their families. Many of them are working tirelessly to find a cure for this terrible disease.
If you’re treated for ALS at the Ohio State Wexner Medical Center in Columbus, Ohio, you’ll have neurologists, nurses, physical and respiratory therapists, nutritionists, social workers, speech pathologists, genetic counselors and many others working to ensure you receive the best care.
