HEALTH CARE AND COMMUNITY SERVICES People with muscular dystrophy and related diseases are our moms and dads, sons and daughters, our friends, neighbors, coworkers and loved ones. At MDA, we're proud to offer the medical expertise and care that will help manage disease symptoms so that health and well-being will be optimized. We're committed to maximizing strength and mobility for these families, promoting their quality of life and independence, breaking down barriers, and of course, making sure they know they are never alone in this fight. Families living with neuromuscular diseases face enormous daily challenges. MDA maintains the most comprehensive services program of any voluntary health agency in the country to help improve lives and support families from day one. Ranging from a nationwide network of comprehensive clinics at the nation's top medical facilities to assistance with essential support services, MDA is here to help families today. Our heath care and community services accounted for $61,377,651 of our 2014 expenditures. As we strive to revolutionize care and support, here are some of the key ways we supported families in 2014: 1. Provided comprehensive care focused on families' needs at nearly 200 MDA clinics through nearly 57,000 visits 2. Hosted nearly 150 critical support groups for families to address daily needs and challenges 3. Offered nearly 80 week-long summer camps for more than 3,700 children to help build self-confidence and independence and remove barriers of everyday life 4. Provided equipment repairs and support to help families maintain independence 5. Gave help and guidance to young people transitioning from childhood to adulthood at transitions.mda.org to help them live independently and thrive. Additionally, through MDA's advocacy program, we've made legislators and regulatory agencies more aware of issues affecting the neuromuscular disease community and have pushed for passage of life-changing legislation. In 2014, our efforts alongside our passionate families and volunteers helped get the ABLE Act signed into law and helped enact critical updates to the MD-CARE Act and the Newborn Screening Saves Lives Reauthorization Act, among other important progress.
4b (Code:   ) (Expenses $ 18,498,911 including grants of $ 16,063,666 ) (Revenue $ 0 )
RESEARCH Every day, children are born with muscular dystrophy and many other life-threatening diseases affecting muscles that take away their ability to walk, move, hug, talk and even breathe. Similarly, adults are facing devastating diseases like ALS that cause muscles to deteriorate and result in loss of mobility and other severe health complications. For these kids and adults, there are currently few treatments and no cures. MDA's research program is designed to change that. We are the only nonprofit taking a big-picture perspective on diseases that limit muscle strength and mobility by being laser-focused on breakthroughs across disease categories. What we learn on the frontlines in one area can potentially have positive impacts in others. In 2014, MDA spent $18,498,911 on research designed to accelerate urgently-needed treatments and cures for the families we serve. We contributed to more than 30 clinical trials for novel drugs and therapies. Thanks in part to this progress, more new drugs in development are expected during the next five years than in the previous 50. Some of the areas where we see the greatest potential are: 1. Gene targeting therapies (replacement, exon skipping, mutation read-through): Gaining traction in DMD, SMA, LGMD, FSHD 2. Stem cell therapies: Testing in DMD, BMD, FSHD, MG, ALS 3. Small molecule therapies: In trials to improve multiple facets of neuromuscular disease, such as muscle atrophy, mitochondrial dysfunction, muscle contractility, inflammation, reduced perfusion and fibrosis (HT-100) In 2014, MDA was sponsoring 155 research grants to leading scientists across the globe. MDA's Scientific and Medical Advisory Committees, whose members are among the nation's foremost scientists and physicians in the field of neuromuscular disease, carefully evaluate all grant proposals submitted. Reports on ongoing progress in MDA's effort to discover treatments and cures, including the status of human trials of potential therapies, can be found at www.mda.org/research2.
4c (Code:   ) (Expenses $ 17,459,993 including grants of $ 0 ) (Revenue $ 0 )
PROFESSIONAL AND PUBLIC HEALTH EDUCATION Muscular dystrophy, ALS and other life-threatening diseases that limit muscle strength and mobility take away everyday abilities such as walking, standing, dressing oneself, hugging someone dear and even breathing. At MDA, we dedicate every minute of every day to fighting to free our families from the harmful effects of these diseases. Providing professional and public education is one of the many ways MDA is working to save and improve lives. In 2014, MDA spent $17,459,993 to provide professional and public health education. We promoted deeper understanding and awareness to rally and inspire action through a variety of innovative strategies: 1. Placed thousands of documented news stories about MDA's mission with network, syndicated and local broadcast outlets, print news publications and online, including frequent social media postings through Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. 2. Produced, distributed and posted on YouTube hundreds of informational videos and educational materials about the challenges of living with muscular dystrophy and related diseases, facts and information, practical tips to help families, personal stories and more. 3. Delivered timely information on mda.org, which is recognized internationally as a key source of information about neuromuscular diseases. 4. Hosted the pre-eminent gathering of neuromuscular disease physicians and health care providers at the 2014 MDA Clinical Conference in Chicago to bring together the nation's best and brightest clinicians to accelerate progress and enhance care for people living with neuromuscular and motor neuron diseases.
