At a Glance: The Fulton Center

The Gregory W. Fulton ALS and Neuromuscular Disease Center was founded to draw from the deep well of existing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) resources, and to improve upon the care and current research for ALS and other neuromuscular disorders.

Our Center offers comprehensive, 360-degree care within one location. Our physicians and research scientists partner with you to deliver frontline therapies, while simultaneously working to move the needle on the next generation of treatments. This translates into greater access to advanced clinical trials and promising research for our patients. We’re also proud to carry the distinction of being an ALS Association Certified Treatment Center of Excellence and a member of the MDA Care Center Network.

The Fulton Center is located in Barrow Neurological Institute at Dignity Health St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center. For more information or to request an appointment, please give us a call at (602) 406-6262.

"Own your life, and have fun. Do what you want to do, because if you don’t, you’re short-changing yourself. I would say that not just for people who have ALS, but for everyone."
