About the Company

The ALS Association

Advances ALS research and supports patients

The ALS Association is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to fighting ALS on multiple fronts. It leads global research efforts, provides assistance to people with ALS through a nationwide network, coordinates multidisciplinary care via certified clinical care centers, and builds government partnerships to advocate for policies and funding. Its programs include funding and guiding research, offering patient and caregiver support, coordinating clinical care to ensure access to specialized services, and advocating for public policy and resources. This approach is distinct because it combines research leadership, direct services, and policy advocacy under one umbrella, with a nationwide network and dedicated ALS Nexus platform to connect patients, researchers, and clinicians. The goal is to discover new treatments and a cure for ALS while improving quality of life and expanding access to care for those affected.
