UAB has opened a clinic for people with the neurological disease ALS — sometimes known as Lou Gehrig's disease — that will allow them to see eight specialists in one visit.
Officials at the University of Alabama at Birmingham announced the opening last month of a clinic for people with the neurological disease ALS that will allow them to see eight specialists in one visit.
The new clinic, which is supported by a grant from the Alabama Department of Commerce Innovation Fund, will see patients once every three months. They can see a neurologist, physical, occupational and speech therapists, dietitian, psychologist, social worker and respiratory therapist at one visit for a single co-pay.
About 30,000 people live with ALS in the United States, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Most are diagnosed between ages 55 and 75.
