“With the help of CCALS,
I personally believe I have become a better physician,
more capable to tend to the needs of patients with
ALS: not only because of the new knowledge I have gained
since working side by side at the bedside with Ron
Hoffman, but also because I now have a resource to
provide patients, no matter what stage of the illness
they face. Whether their need be practical, functional,
or emotional and spiritual, once CCALS is engaged in
their care, I have the reassurance that they will have
the support they need to not only live through the
experience of Lou Gehrig’s, but to thrive.”
