Each ALS clinic must meet The ALS Association鈥檚 clinical care and treatment standards, which are based on the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) Practice Parameters, participate in ALS-related research and successfully complete a comprehensive site review to be certified as a center of excellence. Achieving certification through successful completion of the program鈥檚 robust clinical and administrative reviews confirms to people living with ALS and their family members the validity and comprehensiveness of the Certified Treatment Center of Excellence鈥檚 standards of quality and implementation of best practices. <a href="http://web.alsa.org/site/PageNavigator/centers_and_clinics_descriptions.html" target="blank" title="The ALS Association Centers and Clinics">Learn more</a> about Certified Treatment Centers of Excellence.</p> </div></div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="sidebar" class="column"> <div class="sidebar_top"> <div class="region region-sidebar-top"> <div id="block-menu-block-2" class="block block-menu-block"> <h3><a href="/our-services" class="active-trail">Our Services</a></h3> <div class="content"> <div class="menu-block-wrapper menu-block-2 menu-name-main-menu parent-mlid-0 menu-level-2"> <ul class="menu"><li class="first leaf active-trail active menu-mlid-6976"><a href="/multidisciplinary-als-care" title="" class="active-trail active">Multidisciplinary ALS Care</a></li> <li class="leaf menu-mlid-6986"><a href="/satellite-clinics" title="">Satellite Clinics</a></li> <li class="leaf menu-mlid-6981"><a href="/telehealth-visits" title="">Telehealth Visits</a></li> <li class="last leaf menu-mlid-6971"><a href="/research">Research and Clinical Trials</a></li> </ul></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="sidebar"> <div class="section"> <div class="region region-sidebar"> <div id="block-block-11" class="block block-block"> <h3>Our Location</h3> <div class="content"> <p>400 Parnassus Ave, Eighth Floor<br /> San Francisco, CA 94143<br /> 聽</p> <p><a class="btn--small btn--blue" href="https://www.google.com/maps/dir/37.7506846,-122.4580463/400+Parnassus+Ave,+San+Francisco,+CA+94143/@37.7557761,-122.4699173,15z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m9!4m8!1m1!4e1!1m5!1m1!1s0x808587575d3e1ad1:0x9bd5c96264d55d0d!2m2!1d-122.4572508!2d37.7645542">see on map</a></p> </div> </div> <div id="block-block-6" class="block block-block"> <h3>Contact Us</h3> <div class="content"> <p><a>Phone: (415) 353-2122 </a></p> <p><a>Fax: (415) 353-2524 </a></p> </div> </div> <div id="block-block-16" class="block block-block"> <h3>Make a Gift</h3> <div class="content"> <p>Support the work of the ALS Center聽at UCSF<br /> 聽</p> <p><a class="btn--small btn--blue btn--giving" href="https://makeagift.ucsf.edu/site/SPageServer?pagename=A1_API_GeneralGivingForm&Primary=Neuroscience&AppealCode=C8DAW&Other=Rick%20Olney%20Endowed%20Professorship%20(S0406)"><strong>Give Today</strong></a></p> <p>聽</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> <div id="footer"> <div class="section"> <div class="footer-bottom"> <nav aria-label="Footer Navigation" class="footer--navigation"> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.ucsf.edu/accessibility-resources">Accessibility</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.ucsf.edu/website-privacy-policy">Privacy Policy</a></li> <li><a href="https://websites.ucsf.edu/website-terms-use">Terms of Use </a></li> <li><a href="https://websites.ucsf.edu/azlist">A-Z Website List</a></li> </ul> </nav> <div class="footer--copyright"> <p>© 2024 The Regents of the University of California</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> /*<![CDATA[*/ (function() { var sz = document.createElement('script'); sz.type = 'text/javascript'; sz.async = true; sz.src = '//siteimproveanalytics.com/js/siteanalyze_8343.js'; var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(sz, s); })(); /*]]>*/ </script> </body> </html>
