ALS Society of Newfoundland and Labrador

The ALS Society of Newfoundland and Labrador is a charitable organization dedicated to improving the lives of people living with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. The society operates an extensive equipment loan program that provides assistive devices, such as power wheelchairs and communication aids, to patients at no cost. In addition to direct patient support, the organization facilitates support groups and provides educational resources for caregivers and healthcare professionals. While the society does not engage in direct clinical research, it partners with ALS Canada to fund national research initiatives aimed at finding a cure. The organization is primarily funded through community events, such as the annual Walk to End ALS.
