New Virtual Patient Services!



The Patient Services Team at The ALS Association, Michigan Chapter is very excited to be adding virtual consultation services to our program offerings. Using Skype online video-conferencing, a free service, our Patient Services Coordinators can accept appoints with PALS and families accross Michigan.

We hope that this feature will be helpful for our PALS, especially during the winter months. We recognize that sometimes distance or the physical challenges of traveling to our offices, support groups or events can be trying, and we are hopeful that using Skype to talk with our PALS will make accessing valuable information and resources easier.

If you would like to schedule an appointment with a Patient Services team member, please call our offices. For Kristen in Troy, please call 248-680-6540, screenname alsamichiganeast. For Amie in Grand Rapids, please call 616-459-1900, screenname alsawestmichigan.

To download a free version of Skype, visit Skype.com and select the "Free Video Calling" icon at the bottom of the screen. You'll need to choose a screenname and password.
