2010 Support Group Calendar
ALS ASSOCIATION SUPPORT GROUPS:
The Association offers monthly support groups throughout Georgia. Support groups provide an opportunity for patients, family members, caregivers and friends to come together to share stories, hear the experiences of other living with ALS and to get information. Notices are mailed to PALS registered in our database, but please contact Crystal Jackson if you would like additional information at 888-636-9940.
