About Us

The ALS Association’s mission is to discover treatments and cures for ALS, and to serve, advocate for and empower people affected by ALS so they can live their lives to the fullest. The Golden West Chapter currently serves 1,900 people with ALS and their families in 31 counties in California and the state of Hawaii.

The ALS Association Golden West Chapter is dedicated to the fight against ALS in many ways, including funding global research efforts, supporting scientific and clinical collaboration, connecting people with ALS to clinical trials, partnering with multidisciplinary ALS clinics and centers, educating the public about ALS, providing professional care management services to families facing ALS, pursuing important public policy initiatives, and bringing the ALS community together. All of these are essential to The ALS Association’s ultimate vision: to create a world without ALS.
