ALS Association Tennessee Chapter 

ALS Association Tennessee Chapter ‎logo

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Motor neurons reach from the brain to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body. When the motor neurons die, the ability of the brain to initiate and control muscle movement is lost. The Tennessee Chapter of the ASL Association supports people living with ALS and their loved ones through localized care and resources throughout the state of Tennessee. One of their programs is Equipment Program & Loan Closet that maintains an inventory of gently used durable medical equipment and assistive devices that can be loaned to registered Chapter members at no cost. They also have limited financial assistance available to our patients for the purchase of needed medical equipment.
