ALS Hope Foundation is a non-profit organization based in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania. It supports care for people with ALS by backing clinical centers of excellence and programs for patients and caregivers to optimize care and promote independence, and it sponsors education for patients and health care professionals about diagnosis, treatment, and care, along with basic and clinical research efforts aimed at finding a cure. The organization partners primarily with the MDA/ALS Center of Hope at Temple University Lewis Katz School of Medicine, a multidisciplinary clinic that has served the Greater Philadelphia area since 1984, including access to clinical trials. The ALS Hope Foundation maintains a research team at the Dr. Robert Sinnott ALS Research Laboratory at Temple University, working with collaborators to pursue ALS from new directions. It also supports broader ALS research initiatives across the country, focusing on areas where traditional sources of support are not readily available.
