ALS Awareness Week Health Table

Stop by the library's ALS Awareness Table May 5-11 in the library lobby as we commemorate ALS Awareness Week. We are creating awareness about Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), commonly known as Lou Gehrig's Disease.  This is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that attacks motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. Roughly 1 in 400 people will develop ALS in their lifetime. 

We will be sharing information about the latest ALS research, treatments and resources for individuals, caregivers and families living with the disease.

MAC Angels Foundation, ALS United Greater New York and Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School are the co-sponsors of the event.
