The Les Turner ALS Foundation is the only independent publicly supported non-profit organization in the Chicago-area devoted solely to the treatment and elimination of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), better known as Lou Gehrig's disease.


The Foundation has been affiliated with Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine since 1979, where it funds two world-class scientific research programs (Les Turner ALS Research Laboratories I and II) and an innovative clinical care program (Lois Insolia ALS Center).

The Foundation's programs are available to all ALS patients and caregivers, regardless of where they receive their medical care. Services include:

  • Support groups
  • Professional in-home consultation
  • Communications & durable medical equipment programs
  • Respite grants
  • Educational initiatives
