They want to find healthcare professionals committed to helping them maintain function and ensure them the highest possible quality of life. That’s when The ALS Association’s Certified Centers Program can play a significant role in the lives of people with ALS. The ALS Association’s Certified Centers specialize in the management, care and support of people with ALS, expertise that makes it easier for people with the disease to cope successfully with ALS and live the highest quality of daily life. The ALS Association’s Certified Centers provide multidisciplinary care at a single site, so that people with ALS and their families can see a wide range of experts at every visit. Rather than going from department to department or office to office over several days, patients receive well-organized consultations from a dedicated, centralized collaborative team representing the disciplines essential to their care.    Read full story         Gifts to Help Fight ALS
