Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist ALS Clinic

The ALS Clinic, an outpatient clinic of North Carolina Baptist Hospital, aims to extend longevity and maximize patient independence and quality of life by offering specialized services to patients diagnosed with ALS.

ALS Clinic Certified as a Center of Excellence

The ALS Clinic was established in March of 1998 to offer patients a comprehensive team approach to treating ALS.

The ALS Clinic was certified as a Center of Excellence by the ALS Association in 2001 and is 1 of only 33 such centers in the country. The ALS Association selects, certifies and supports distinguished regional institutions recognized as the best in the field with regard to knowledge of and experience with ALS.

There are enormous benefits to receiving care at an ALSA-Certified Center of Excellence.

• We can offer specialty care to meet the needs of those living with ALS, regardless of their insurance status.
• Multidisciplinary care means all necessary health care disciplines are involved in the care of the ALS patient and their families.
• Research has shown that specialized ALS care for patients results in a longer lifespan with higher quality of life than is achieved with standard, non-multidisciplinary care.
• We often collaborate with other certified ALS Centers to enhance ALS patient care.

ALS Clinic Schedule & Team Members

Those referred to the ALS Center meet with one of the neuromuscular specialist physicians in diagnostic neurology. If a diagnosis of probable or definite ALS (or an ALS variant) is confirmed, patients are referred to the multidisciplinary services of the ALS Clinic at Medical Plaza – Miller.

The ALS Clinic hosts patients and their families on the third Wednesday and Thursday of each month. Most patients are asked to return about every 3 months depending on their needs and preferences.
