East Tennessee State University began offering interprofessional clinical services to people in our region suffering from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) in partnership with the ALS Association of Tennessee.

The first of its kind in the region, the Gary Shealy Memorial ALS clinic offers a multidisciplinary approach to the care of people diagnosed with ALS. The following disciplines are represented to provide an all in one clinical experience: neurology, respiratory therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, dietary, pharmacy, social work, assistive technology professional and an ALS Association Liason.

All that is required to attend the clinic is a diagnosis of ALS. As ALS is a diagnosis of exclusion, meaning there is no one test that clearly determines this diagnosis, second opinions are often recommended.

We can offer a second opinion through our partnership with Dr. Randy Trudell whose primary office is located in Knoxville. Referrals can be faxed to 423-439-4607 attention: ALS Clinic.
