The ALS Association seeks to promote awareness and understanding of ALS and the work of The ALS Association by providing up-to-date information and education materials to the ALS community…ALS patients and families, caregivers, researchers and members in the health care fields.

The ALSA website is another component in the delivery of information specific to ALS. Our purpose is to provide accurate and timely information as well as a resource directory pointing to sources of information.
