Most of the time ALS is not inherited. About 10% of cases are considered “familial ALS” (FALS). You have tested positive the familial ALS gene-now what? You likely have questions, fears, confusion, or you may feel numb. Due to the uniqueness of ALS, feeling understood may be difficult. This group will provide compassion and acceptance, education, give individuals the opportunity to learn from each other, and open the way for social and intellectual interaction between affected individuals, guest speakers, and identified resources. For questions regarding the program, please reach out to Joumana Baroody, RN, BSN, at 312-931-7127 or
