The Muscular Dystrophy Association, Compassionate Care ALS, and the ALS Association work with families in New England, across the United States, and internationally to provide resources including equipment, educational workshops, Medicare/Medicaid assistance, guidance and awareness in living with ALS, caregiving, and end-of-life issues. Together, these groups work closely with our UMass ALS clinic to provide support and resources to all of our patients and their families and help them meet their needs. Additional resources for ALS patients, including research, are also listed.
