Alternative Services
Just as ALS is unique to every individual, ALS in the Heartland provides unique services to every individual and their family. Whether that is through financial requests, legacy work, transportation support to medical appointments, or something else, contact ALS in the Heartland and discuss how we can support your requests.
Advocacy & Research
ALS remains a rare and often unknown disease. Although not doing the work ourselves, ALS in the Heartland strives to increase community awareness of this disease and promotes research efforts both in our local area and those that are occurring on a national basis. Additionally, ALS in the Heartland follows legislative advances in Nebraska, Iowa, and the entire United States that would benefit individuals and families impacted by ALS.
Referrals to experienced Medical Professionals
ALS in the Heartland has a good working relationship with ALS Clinics and medical professionals that specialize in ALS throughout the area and can assist individuals in accessing appropriate and needed medical services. We are fortunate to act as the social service support on a multidisciplinary team in Dr. Gary Pattee’s MDA Care Center for ALS Patients.
