Muscular Dystrophy Association

MDA supports the largest network of multidisciplinary clinics, providing best-in-class care at more than 150 of the nation’s top medical institutions.

MDA is committed to transforming the lives of people affected by muscular dystrophy, ALS and related neuromuscular diseases through innovations in science and innovations in care. As the largest source of funding for neuromuscular disease research outside of the federal government MDA has committed more than $1 billion to accelerate the discovery of therapies and cures. We support the largest network of multidisciplinary clinics at more than 150 top medical institutions, serve the community with one-on-one specialized support, and offer educational conferences, events, and materials for families and healthcare providers. Each year thousands of children/young adults learn vital life skills and gain independence at summer camp and through recreational programs, at no cost to families.
