Partnership with leading US-based ALS patient advocacy group furthers myTomorrows’ mission of ensuring that patients confronting life-threatening diseases are aware of all possible treatment options
On behalf of everyone living with ALS and their families, the ALS Association sent a letter this week to members of the House and Senate demonstrating our support for the passing of the ALS Better Care Act which will increase access to multidisciplinary care clinics for people living with ALS.
To help educate the public and raise awareness of the growing issues people with ALS and their families struggle with, ALS Association CEO Calaneet Balas recently shared her views about insurance denials in an op-ed published by the International Business Times, specifically relating to the use of ventilators and assistive technology.
There is an urgent need for new and improved therapies for ALS, as there is still no cure. To help accelerate drug development and get promising treatments one step closer to regulatory evaluation, the ALS Association has committed nearly $4 million to support four early-stage clinical trials through our Hoffman ALS Clinical Trial Awards.
In 2023, unprecedented accomplishments were made in the fight against ALS in care, research, advocacy and more. We can't wait to see what 2024 has in store towards our vision of creating a world without ALS.
