Founded in 1977, the Les Turner ALS Foundation is the leader in comprehensive ALS care in Chicagoland.

Although we’re one of the largest independent ALS groups in the country, we treat each person like family

and we’re committed to supporting them every step of the way. Our individualized approach ensures

each person living with the disease receives the best quality of care, and our local community of support

provides their loved ones with answers and encouragement. Our Les Turner ALS Center at Northwestern

Medicine is led by the most well-respected and successful clinicians and researchers in the field, advancing

vital care and research in pursuit of life-enhancing treatments and a cure.
