Mission:
Established in 1977, the Les Turner ALS Foundation is one of the nation’s preeminent organizations dedicated to raising funds for the treatment and elimination of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), better known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. The Foundation has been affiliated with Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine since 1979, where it funds both a clinical care program and world-class scientific research. The Les Turner ALS Foundation’s patient service programs are available to all ALS patients and caregivers in Chicago and the surrounding areas, regardless of where they receive their medical care. These services include support group meetings, professional in-home consultation services, communications and durable medical equipment programs, respite care grants and many educational activities.
