ALS Association Chapters
The ALS Association chapter is a multi-faceted grass-roots organization that carries out The ALS Association's mission and strategic goals at the community level. The chapter - with supporting services from the National Office - actively pursues The Association's goals by providing a wide range of services for people living with ALS, their caregivers, families and friends as well as professional health care providers throughout the service area. Each ALS Association chapter offers programs that can include many of the following:

Patient education programs
Support groups
Telephone information/referral service
Equipment loan programs
Augmentative communication device programs
Respite programs
Programs of information and support for caregivers and family members
Referrals to ALS clinics and physicians
Support nationally-directed research programs
Local and nationally-directed advocacy programs
You can find your local chapter by using the "Locate Services" box on the right side of this page. For a full list of all chapters, please click here.
