The ALS Center at Beth Israel Medical Center, sponsored jointly by the Chapter and Beth Israel, was founded in 1996. Here's what you will find on a visit to the Center. Located in the beautiful Phillips Ambulatory Care Center at 10 Union Square East, Manhattan, this comprehensive center provides a full range of medical and rehabilitative services to ALS patients and families in a warm and supportive environment.
Patient visits can last up to three hours.
Upon arrival at the Center, patients are assigned to a suite. Members of the clinical team rotate among the patients. They obtain an extensive medical and family history and a full medical examination. Previous testing, blood work and procedures are reviewed. If diagnosis has not been confirmed, additional diagnostic recommendations are made.
