Dr. Pulley's program is for patients with ALS in Florida. Dr. Bedlack's is for veterans with ALS in the Mid-Atlantic Region. Specific examples of how this model has improved the care of patients with ALS will be presented. A proposal for the use of Tele-Medicine to reduce some of the burdens that research places on patients will be outlined. Presented on June 4, 2014.
