Why Our Team Needs Your Help

Patients who receive treatment at our center are also supported by ALSA.  This support includes access to a grant which can be used to pay for everything from adaptive equipment for computer access to home and auto modifications to home healthcare.  ALSA also runs regional support groups for patients and their families. 

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive, fatal neuromuscular disease that slowly robs the body of its ability to walk, speak, swallow and breathe. The life expectancy of a person with ALS averages 2 to 5 years from the time of diagnosis. 

ALS can strike anyone. Presently there is no known cause of the disease, yet it still costs loved ones an average of $250,000 a year to provide the care people living with ALS and their families need. Join the movement to provide help and hope today!
