MDA ALS Research and Clinical Centers

While all MDA clinics across the country serve people with ALS, MDA distinguishes the following facilities at major medical institutions as ALS Research and Clinical Centers -- because of the amount of ALS research taking place there, and the vast experience of the staff in dealing with this disorder.
