Muscular Dystrophy Association

Since its founding in 1950, the Muscular Dystrophy Association had become one of the nation's largest and best-known voluntary health agencies. MDA provides comprehensive medical services to tens of thousands of people with neuromuscular diseases at more than 230 hospital-affiliated clinics across the country. The Association's worldwide research programs, which funds some 400 scientific investigations annually, represents the largest single effort to advance knowledge of neuromuscular diseases and find cures and treatments for them.
