ALS Association Greater Chicago Chapter

Our Chapter's mission is to discover treatments and a cure for ALS, and to serve, advocate for, and empower people affected by ALS to live their lives to the fullest.  We serve those living with ALS and their families in Chicagoland, Central Illinois, and Northern Illinois.  We host monthly support groups, conduct home visits, run a medical equipment lending program, provide access to resources and education about the disease, host ALS multidisciplinary clinics at six local hospitals, offer online counseling, give respite care grants, and much more.  Everything we provide is free to our patients and their families, and we assist them throughout their entire journey with ALS.  We also fund cutting edge research, both locally and globally, to find much needed treatments and a cure for ALS.
