ALS Association Oregon and SW Washington Chapter

The ALS Association Oregon and SW Washington Chapter is a regional non-profit organization focused on patient advocacy, care services, and research funding for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). The entity operates as part of the national ALS Association network, facilitating access to multidisciplinary ALS clinics and providing assistive technology through equipment loan programs. While not a drug developer itself, the organization plays a critical role in the ALS ecosystem by funding clinical trials and advocating for regulatory pathways that accelerate drug approval. Its primary mission involves improving quality of life for patients in the Pacific Northwest while supporting the global search for disease-modifying therapies.
