Mobile Clinics

In partnership with Vancouver Coastal Health and the ALS Centre at GF Strong Rehab Centre, the ALS Society of BC provides mobile clinics to outlying communities to offer follow-up appointments to patients who can no longer visit the ALS Centre. Past locations have included Abbotsford, Nanaimo, Victoria, Kelowna, Kamloops, West Kootenays and Prince George.  The ALS Centre team also provides in-service training about ALS to caregivers and healthcare professionals.  Note that the locations of the clinic are determined by the ALS Centre.

Thank you to the Province of British Columbia for supporting our Mobile Clinics.

Demographics

Our goal is to offer four mobile clinics throughout BC every year. However, it should be noted that no mobile clinics were conducted from 2020 to 2021 due to COVID-19 restrictions. Instead, the ALS Centre provided virtual clinics to patients.  Last year, the ALS Society of BC organized two mobile clinics; Chilliwack and Nanaimo.
