The Role of Multidisciplinary Care in ALS

In our March ALS Learning Series, team members and people living with #als explored the crucial role of collaboration in delivering holistic care. They discussed how multidisciplinary clinics can help people living with ALS to live longer and with a higher quality of life. From exploring treatment options to providing emotional support, our panel illustrated how this approach significantly enhances the well-being of people living with ALS, their families, and caregivers.

This webinar also discussed the ALS Better Care Act (HR 5663/S.3258), which will enhance Medicare reimbursement for multidisciplinary clinics nationwide, improving care for people living with ALS. You’ll learn how you can get involved in supporting this legislation. https://www.votervoice.net/MDA/Campai...
