ALS Clinic

ALS
ALS Clinic at Fontaine Ave. Neurology Site

A unique commitment
The University of Virginia Health System is proud to offer the only multidisciplinary clinic in Virginia specifically for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis patients and their families. Patients come from hours away to take advantage of our Clinic's unique services.

The goal of UVa's Richard R. Dart ALS Clinic is to provide the best possible diagnostic evaluation, treatment and support to supplement the care that patients receive from their local neurologists and family physicians.

What to expect
When an ALS patient comes to UVa, they can meet with a neurologist, physical therapist, occupational therapist, social worker, speech pathologist, and nutritionist -- a special healthcare team familiar with the unique challenges facing those with ALS, their caregivers and families.

Community support
The Richard R. Dart ALS Clinic exists because of generous donations -- most from families and friends of patients who have succumbed to ALS. These individuals understand firsthand the suffering associated with the disease. They appreciate the Clinic's goals and want to ensure that others benefit from it.

Meeting special needs
Because our patients and their families may be under a great deal of stress, we offer a broad range of additional services, including special meals and transportation.
