Our Chapter offers a full range of services to guide and assist you as you learn more about ALS. Here you will find pertinent information for patients, caregivers, family members, friends and healthcare workers. Our staff is here Monday through Friday to answer any questions you may have.

A diagnosis of ALS can be overwhelming, confusing, and frightening. If you or a family member has recently received a diagnosis of ALS, you probably have questions about the disease, the prognosis and the treatments available.
The ALS Association is dedicated to providing you and your family and friends with information, support and resources you need to live a fuller life and better meet the daily challenges of living with ALS.
Our services are free of charge and we are continually expanding and refining our initiatives to serve the needs of the ALS community. Click on the links at left for more information about our programs.
In addition to serving people with ALS, the Chapter provides services to people with primary lateral sclerosis (PLS) who live in our service area of Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia.
