- Please be assured that the work of The ALS Association will continue. The first priority is the safety and well-being of people with ALS, their families and caregivers, and our staff.
- We have created a COVID-19 Vaccine Information hub to capture breaking news and resources to inform your conversations with physicians about the vaccines, their safety and efficacy, and availability.
- Chapter staff will be working remotely and are still available to our constituents daily via phone, email, or video chat.
- All in-person Support Groups have been cancelled. All groups have transitioned to Virtual Support Groups.
- You can find the latest updates about our activities on our Facebook page.
For the most recent information about coronavirus (COVID-19), The ALS Association recommends that you reference the websites for the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO), and state and local health authorities.
