DURING THE FISCAL YEAR, THE ORGANIZATION CANCELLED SUPPORT GROUPS IN MONTEVIDEO, MINNESOTA AND IN BEREAVEMENT AND BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA.
ALS AND THE ALS ASSOCIATION, MINNESOTA, NORTH DAKOTA, SOUTH DAKOTA CHAPTER AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS (ALS), MORE COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS LOU GEHRIGS DISEASE, IS A DEGENERATIVE DISEASE OF THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM, CHARACTERIZED BY THE DEATH OF THE MOTOR NEURONS (SPECIFIC NERVE CELLS). ALS RESULTS IN GRADUAL, PROGRESSIVE WEAKNESS AND WASTING AWAY OF VOLUNTARY MUSCLES, OFTEN LEADING TO TOTAL PARALYSIS. THE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF A PERSON WITH ALS IS USUALLY TWO TO FIVE YEARS FROM TIME OF DIAGNOSIS. WITH RECENT ADVANCES IN RESEARCH AND IMPROVED MEDICAL CARE, MANY PATIENTS ARE LIVING LONGER AND MORE PRODUCTIVE LIVES. HALF OF ALL THOSE AFFECTED MAY LIVE AT LEAST THREE YEARS OR MORE AFTER DIAGNOSIS. ABOUT 20 PERCENT LIVE FIVE YEARS OR MORE, AND UP TO TEN PERCENT WILL SURVIVE MORE THAN TEN YEARS. ALS OCCURS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD WITH NO RACIAL, ETHNIC, OR SOCIOECONOMIC BOUNDARIES. ALS CAN STRIKE ANYONE. MOST PEOPLE WHO DEVELOP ALS ARE BETWEEN THE AGES OF 40 AND 70, WITH AN AVERAGE AGE OF 55 AT THE TIME OF DIAGNOSIS. HOWEVER, PEOPLE AS YOUNG AS 17 AND PEOPLE IN THEIR 90'S HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH ALS. EVERY WEEK AN AVERAGE OF TWO MINNESOTANS ARE DIAGNOSED WITH ALS AND TWO SUCCUMB TO THE DISEASE. THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 400 PEOPLE LIVING WITH ALS IN MINNESOTA AT ANY ONE TIME. IN NORTH DAKOTA THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 47 PEOPLE LIVING WITH ALS AT ANY ONE TIME. ON AVERAGE EACH MONTH, ONE PERSON IS DIAGNOSED WITH ALS AND ONE PERSON DIES FROM THE DISEASE. IN SOUTH DAKOTA THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 56 PEOPLE LIVING WITH ALS AT ANY ONE TIME. ON AVERAGE EACH MONTH, 1.5 PEOPLE ARE DIAGNOSED WITH ALS AND THAT SAME NUMBER DIE FROM THE DISEASE. CHAPTER PROGRAMS INCLUDE: 1. HRBEK-SING COMMUNICATION AND ASSISTIVE DEVICE PROGRAM: THIS PROGRAM ALLOWS INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE LOST THEIR ABILITY TO VERBALLY COMMUNICATE DUE TO ALS, TO BORROW COMMUNICATION DEVICES THAT ARE NOT COVERED BY MEDICAL INSURANCE. THE PROGRAM ALSO PROVIDES ELECTRONIC AIDS TO DAILY LIVING AND COMPUTER ACCESS TECHNOLOGIES TO THESE INDIVIDUALS SO THEY CAN MAINTAIN THEIR INDEPENDENCE AS THEIR DISEASE PROGRESSES. LAST FISCAL YEAR 210 PEOPLE USED THIS PROGRAM AND OVER 1,200 PIECES OF EQUIPMENT WENT IN AND OUT OF THE LOAN CLOSET. 2. JACK NORTON FAMILY RESPITE PROGRAM: THIS PROGRAM PROVIDES SHORT PERIODS OF RESPITE FROM THE STRESSFUL RESPONSIBILITY OF PROVIDING AROUND-THE-CLOCK CARE FOR A LOVED ONE LIVING WITH ALS. SKILLED HOMECARE PERSONNEL COME INTO THE HOME TO CARE FOR THE PERSON WITH ALS, THEREBY ALLOWING THE FULL-TIME PRIMARY FAMILY CAREGIVER TIME TO RELAX, DO ERRANDS, KEEP APPOINTMENTS OR VISIT WITH FRIENDS. THE CHAPTER PROVIDES UP TO 18 HOURS OF RESPITE CARE EACH MONTH TO FAMILIES THAT QUALIFY FOR THIS PROGRAM. LAST YEAR THE CHAPTER PAID FOR OVER 9,508 RESPITE HOURS FOR 100 FAMILIES. 3. DURABLE MEDICAL EQUIPMENT LOAN POOL: THE EQUIPMENT LOAN POOL PROVIDES DURABLE MEDICAL EQUIPMENT TO PERSONS WITH ALS TO HELP THEM MAINTAIN THEIR INDEPENDENCE AND PHYSICAL SAFETY. THE LOAN POOL HAS EQUIPMENT DONATED BY PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES, AND IS HOUSED IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT THE CHAPTER SERVICE AREA. EXAMPLES OF EQUIPMENT ARE: HOSPITAL BEDS, WHEELCHAIRS, WALKERS, BATHROOM EQUIPMENT, MATTRESSES, ETC. LAST YEAR 336 PEOPLE UTILIZED THIS PROGRAM. AN AVERAGE OF 250 TO 300 ITEMS ROTATED THROUGH THE POOL EACH MONTH, WITH MORE THAN 2500 ITEMS GOING IN AND OUT OF 9 DIFFERENT DURABLE MEDICAL EQUIPMENT LOAN POOL LOCATIONS. 4. OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY(OT)/PHYSICAL THERAPY (PT) PROGRAM: THIS PROGRAM PROVIDES INDIVIDUALS WITH ALS THE SERVICES OF ALS-EXPERIENCED OT/PTS FOR HOME EVALUATIONS, EQUIPMENT ASSESSMENT, PROPER TRANSFER TECHNIQUES, MOBILITY, ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING, TRAINING IN RANGE-OF-MOTION, STRETCHING EXERCISES AND THE TEACHING OF THERAPEUTIC PROCEDURES TO CARE PROVIDERS OF PERSONS WITH ALS. LAST YEAR 43 PEOPLE RECEIVED HOME VISITS, NOT PAID FOR BY INSURANCE, THROUGH THIS PROGRAM. 5. SUPPORT GROUPS: THERE ARE SEVERAL MONTHLY OR QUARTERLY ALS SUPPORT GROUPS LOCATED THROUGHOUT THE CHAPTER SERVICE AREA. SOME OF THE SUPPORT GROUPS HAVE EDUCATIONAL SPEAKERS AND SOME BREAK INTO SMALLER GROUPS, SO THE NEEDS OF ALL THOSE WHO ATTEND CAN BE ADDRESSED. MORE THAN 525 DIFFERENT PEOPLE PARTICIPATED IN EIGHT DIFFERENT SUPPORT GROUPS LOCATED THROUGHOUT THE SERVICE AREA. THE CHAPTER ALSO HOSTS A BEREAVEMENT GROUP FOR THOSE WHO HAVE LOST A LOVED ONE TO ALS. 6. VOLUNTEER PROGRAM: THE PURPOSE OF THE VOLUNTEER PROGRAM IS TO INCREASE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THOSE WITH ALS BY FREEING UP THEIR TIME AND ENERGY FOR MORE ENJOYABLE THINGS.
