Programs & Services

Receiving an ALS diagnosis is overwhelming and leads to many questions and concerns. Whether you are living with ALS or caring for someone with ALS, there are many challenges and changes to consider. The ALS Society of BC and our provincial partners are here to help. Through fundraising and donations, the ALS Society of BC is able to provide programs and services at no cost to ALS patients and their families; however, patients must be registered to access them. There is no registration fee for ALS Patients.
