We’re glad you found us. Compassionate Care
ALS (CCALS) is a nonprofit organization that offers individualized support
to ALS patients, families, and caregivers. We are here to offer you
all that we can, including what we have learned from our own firsthand
experiences with ALS. As you know, having ALS can be a life-changing
event for everyone – the patient, the caregivers, family, friends,
and health care professionals. Our services are meant for this entire
network of care.
While many ALS organizations pursue a cure for
future patients by focusing on scientific research, CCALS focuses
solely on maintaining a holistic presence with the
patients and caregivers of today. When requested, we strive to accompany
them on their journey, actively listen to their concerns, care for
their needs, and equip them to face end of life issues with dignity and grace.
We welcome all of your questions and requests.

Thank you!!!" – M.E. from

Research strongly suggests that the
immune system is diminished by the absence of a social support
system. The personalized care and unique services of Compassionate
Care ALS demonstrate that people can be healed without necessarily
being cured. - Jack Childs, Ed.D., Professor/Founder Holistic
