Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Clinic

 

ALS TestAmyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is a neuromuscular disease that attacks motor neurons. This causes progressive paralysis which makes even the simplest movements such as walking, communicating, and eating impossible.

Banner Good Samaritan's ALS Clinic can offer patients comprehensive treatment in a compassionate setting.

We have been recognized as the 20th National Center of Excellence by the ALS Association.

Team members are dedicated to helping patients maintain their  muscle function and ability to perform the daily activities of life.

Our team includes:

  • dietitians
  • social workers
  • nursing staff
  • physicians
  • physical therapists
  • occupational therapists
  • speech therapists
  • respiratory therapists

We  focus on ALS patients and the needs of their caregivers. We also work closely with the local ALS association to provide numerous at-home services, including respite care.

Banner Good Samaritan has a Telemedicine clinic located on the Northern Arizona University campus in Flagstaff. With nearly 90 telemedicine clinics throughout Arizona, patients with various travel limitations can be evaluated by Banner Good Sam specialty physicians through a secure real-time television link without having to travel to the Phoenix area.
