Add to Calendar

Join us for an informative afternoon to learn about Lou Gehrig's Disease, also known as ALS. Presented in partnership with I AM ALS.

At this event, we will discuss some of the warning signs of ALS, what resources exist to those who are affected, and updates on funding, legislation, and finding a cure. 

Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from our panel of presenters, ask questions, and learn about ALS firsthand from those impacted by the disease. Our discussion panel will consist of ALS patients, caregivers/loved ones, and ALS-focused employees.

While this panel will take place virtually on Zoom, attendees have the choice to either join us in-person at Warren-Newport Public Library to view the Zoom live, or from the comfort of their own home.
