The Johns Hopkins ALS Clinic is a world recognized leader in providing superior medical care and offering the latest in clinical trials and therapies to ALS patients. Located with the Johns Hopkins Hospital in East Baltimore, the Clinic provides comprehensive care and disease education from initial diagnosis to advanced disease. Their compassionate team provides support for patients and their families with a  therapeutic goal to maximize a patient's health, functioning, and ability using available therapy, equipment, exercise, and nutrition. Clinical research participation is offered to all appropriate and eligible ALS clinic patients. 

Once diagnosis is confirmed by a neurologist, the ALS clinical team directed by Lora L. Clawson, MSN, CRNP creates a clinical care plan after a thorough assessment by all team members. 

This world-respected medical destination for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients is not a part of the Packard Center, although Clinic patients often sign up for studies, or clinical trials, that test potential Center-derived therapies.  The Packard Center does not diagnose or provide clinical care to patients. It does, does work cosely with the Clinic to help promote their work, support clinical trials as well as basic research.
