Clinical Care: Meeting the Needs of People with ALS

We care for people with ALS, providing individualized, patient-centered care and offering access to experimental therapies through clinical trials and expanded access programs. We are committed to care innovation. Through partnerships with our patients, we have steadily diversified and expanded our multidisciplinary care team, developed TelePALS (a video televisit program) and launched the ALS House Call Program. Each program is aimed at bringing our care beyond the walls of our clinic and using our expertise to meet the needs of people with ALS on their own terms.

The thoughtfulness, carefulness and caring that Sarah Luppino, NP showed meant a lot to both myself and my wife who was also in with me. She's professional, smart and very caring.

Personalized Research: Plans Tailored to You

At the Healey Center for ALS, we know that to overcome ALS, we must understand each person with ALS. We understand that ALS, at its core, is unique to each person with the disease. We embrace this uniqueness as a tool to unlock the disease and push forward with pioneering research and clinical trials.
