Just an FYI for all that are close to me here in Lafayette, Louisiana.
The wonderful ladies and my friend with the ALS assn here have finally succeeded in getting the major hospital to open an ALS Clinic here. It will be one day per month to start, but they will see all ALS patients in our area. I'm sure this covers Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi and Alabama if needed. It was done in Lafayette due to the central location and the multi-interstate access from the north, south, east and west.
The neuro that will be running it will be training and working under a large ALS clinic, i think Dr. Appell. This Neuro is the best in the area too and very highly qualified. There will be all the PT, OT, etc services. Also, Acadian Ambulance is also contracted to transport patients that cannot transport themselves.
I know there are a few close to me, like Billy Dyle and Capt., if you guys come to lafayette you had darn better let me know, i will buy lunch! If you would like me to set you up with their contact, let me know, it's certainly closer than houston.
It opens in November.
I told these two ladies .... hats off to them, they accomplished this on their own!
Rgds,
