The ALS Association, Greater Philadelphia Chapter
Every 90 minutes someone is diagnosed with ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s Disease, a devastating neuromuscular condition for which there is no known cause or cure. The Greater Philadelphia Chapter of the ALS Association provides support and resources for ALS patients, their families, and caregivers living in the eastern half of Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey, and Delaware (view service area). The ALS Association is the only national nonprofit organization dedicated solely to the fight against ALS.
