Our Team
If you're a person with ALS or you care for one, we're here to help. We will connect you with the local resources you need including equipment loans, grants to help with ALS related expenses, and access to ALS multidisciplinary clinics and clinical trials.
The progression of ALS varies significantly from one person to another. Responding to each person's individual needs, our local chapter is available to provide vital services and reliable information.
We are committed to improving the lives of people afflicted with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease), as well as serving their families and caregivers, throughout Nevada.
