| FORM 990, PART III | FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A: AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS (ALS), MORE COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS LOU GEHRIG'S 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 AVERAGES TWO TO FIVE YEARS FROM TIME OF DIAGNOSIS. WITH RECENT ADVANCES IN RESEARCH AND IMPROVED MEDICAL CARE, MANY PEOPLE WITH ALS ARE LIVING LONGER AND MORE PRODUCTIVE LIVES. HALF OF ALL THOSE AFFECTED MAY LIVE AT LEAST THREE YEARS OR MORE AFTER DIAGNOSIS. ABOUT TWENTY 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. 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 IS DIAGNOSED WITH ALS AND TWO SUCCUMB TO THE DISEASE. ON AVERAGE IN NORTH DAKOTA, ONE PERSON IS DIAGNOSED, AND ONE PERSON DIES FROM ALS EACH MONTH. ON AVERAGE IN SOUTH DAKOTA, ON TO TWO PEOPLE ARE DIAGNOSED AND DIE OF ALS EACH MONTH. AT ANY GIVEN TIME, THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 450 PEOPLE LIVING WITH ALS IN MINNESOTA, NORTH DAKOTA, AND SOUTH DAKOTA. CHAPTER PROGRAMS INCLUDE: 1.HRBEK-SING COMMUNICATION AND ASSISTIVE DEVICE PROGRAM: THIS PROGRAM ASSISTS INDIVIDUALS WITH ALS WHO HAVE LOST THEIR ABILITY TO VERBALLY COMMUNICATE AND/OR WHO ARE HAVING DIFFICULTY USING A COMPUTER AND OTHER ELECTRONIC DEVICES IN THEIR HOME. THE PROGRAM LOANS DEVICES AND EQUIPMENT THAT ARE NOT COVERED BY MEDICAL INSURANCE AND ARE AVAILABLE IN THE INVENTORY. LAST FISCAL YEAR 334 PEOPLE USED THIS PROGRAM AND OVER 1,390 PIECES OF EQUIPMENT WENT IN AND OUT OF THE LOAN CLOSET. 2.JACK NORTON FAMILY RESPITE PROGRAM: THIS PROGRAM PROVIDES MUCH NEEDED RESPITE TO A FULL-TIME FAMILY CAREGIVER OF A PERSON WITH ALS. SKILLED HOMECARE PERSONNEL COME INTO THE HOME TO CARE FOR THE PERSON WITH ALS ALLOWING THE FAMILY CAREGIVER TIME TO RELAX, DO ERRANDS, KEEP APPOINTMENTS, OR VISIT WITH FRIENDS. THE CHAPTER PROVIDES UP TO 18 HOURS OF RESPITE EACH MONTH TO FAMILIES THAT QUALIFY FOR THIS PROGRAM. LAST YEAR THE CHAPTER PAID FOR 6,000 RESPITE HOURS FOR 78 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 INDIVIDUALS AND THEIR FAMILIES AND IS HOUSED IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT THE CHAPTER'S SERVICE AREA. EXAMPLES OF EQUIPMENT ARE HOSPITAL BEDS, WHEELCHAIRS, WALKERS, BATHROOM EQUIPMENT, MATTRESSES, ETC. LAST YEAR 437 PEOPLE UTILIZED THIS PROGRAM. 3,242 PIECES OF EQUIPMENT WENT IN AND OUT OF THE CLOSET DURING THIS TIME. 4.HOME SAFETY PROGRAM: THIS PROGRAM PROVIDES INDIVIDUALS WITH ALS THE SERVICES OF ALS-EXPERIENCED OT/PT'S FOR HOME EVALUATIONS, EQUIPMENT ASSESSMENT, PROPER TRANSFER TECHNIQUES, AND TRAINING IN RANGE-OF-MOTION AND STRETCHING EXERCISES TO CARE PROVIDERS OF PERSONS WITH ALS. LAST YEAR 46 PEOPLE RECEIVED HOME VISITS THROUGH THIS PROGRAM. 5.SUPPORT GROUPS: THIS YEAR, ALL OUR SUPPORT GROUPS FOR BOTH INDIVIDUALS LIVING WITH ALS AND CAREGIVERS WERE MOVED TO A VIRTUAL FORMAT ALLOWING FOLKS TO JOIN NO MATTER THEIR GEOGRAPHY. SOME OF THE SUPPORT GROUPS HAVE EDUCATIONAL SPEAKERS AND SOME BREAK INTO SMALLER GROUPS, ENSURING THE NEEDS OF ALL THOSE WHO ATTEND CAN BE ADDRESSED. 50 PEOPLE ATTENDED SUPPORT GROUPS LAST YEAR. 6.FAMILY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM: THROUGH THIS PROGRAM, A VOLUNTEER IS CONNECTED TO AN INDIVIDUAL OR FAMILY AFFECTED BY ALS TO SUPPORT THEM BY COMPLETING EVERYDAY TASKS AND PROVIDING COMPANIONSHIP. COVID-19 CHALLENGES LED TO DIMINISHED PARTICIPATION IN THIS PROGRAM LAST YEAR, BUT NUMBERS ARE EXPECTED TO APPROACH PRE-PANDEMIC LEVELS IN 2023. SUPPORT FOR FAMILIES INCLUDES YARD WORK, SNOW REMOVAL, AND GARDENING. 7.ADVOCACY: THE CHAPTER STRIVES, ON A NATIONAL AND STATE LEVEL, TO IMPROVE VARIOUS SITUATIONS WHICH PEOPLE WITH ALS AND THEIR FAMILIES FACE IN THEIR DAILY STRUGGLE WITH THE DISEASE. THESE ADVOCACY EFFORTS INCLUDE IDENTIFYING AND ADDRESSING CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES ON LEGISLATIVE AND ADMINISTRATIVE LEVELS, AND SHAPING POLICIES AND ACTIONS IN THE INTEREST OF ALL CONSTITUENTS. 8.CLINIC SERVICES: THE ASSOCIATION PARTNERS WITH LOCAL HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS TO ENSURE QUALITY OF CARE FOR THE ALS COMMUNITY BY CERTIFYING AND PROVIDING FUNDING TO ALS CERTIFIED AND RECOGNIZED CENTERS OF EXCELLENT, WHICH OFFER MULTIDISCIPLINARY CARE TO ENSURE ALL AN INDIVIDUAL'S NEEDS ARE MET IN ONE PLACE THROUGHOUT THE DISEASE PROGRESSION. SUPPORTING THE VIABILITY OF THESE CLINICS REMAINS A FOCUS IN OUR SERVICE AREA. 9.OTHER SERVICES: THE CHAPTER'S CARE SERVICES STAFF PROVIDES EDUCATION AND INFORMATION ABOUT ALS TO PERSONS WITH THE DISEASE, THEIR FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS. THE CARE SERVICES STAFF CONSISTS OF PROFESSIONALS FROM NURSING, SOCIAL WORK, OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY, AND CHAPLAINCY. THE CARE SERVICES STAFF ARE AVAILABLE TO INDIVIDUALS WITH ALS AND THEIR FAMILY FOR CONSULTATION AND SUPPORT, ADVANCE CARE DIRECTIVES, AND TO PROVIDE RESOURCE INFORMATION. IN ADDITION, THE CHAPTER PUBLISHES A MONTHLY ELECTRONIC NEWSLETTER AND PRODUCES A WEEKLY PODCAST CONNECTING ALS. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B: ...IS RECOGNIZED IN THE ALS COMMUNITY FOR ITS SCOPE AND DIVERSITY. CURRENTLY, THE ASSOCIATION IS FUNDING 162 ACTIVE PROJECTS GLOBALLY. PROJECTS ARE MILESTONE DRIVEN, WHICH ENABLES THE ASSOCIATION TO REDIRECT DOLLARS WHEN THE SCIENCE DEMONSTRATES THAT ONE APPROACH IS NOT FEASIBLE, AND ANOTHER IS MORE PROMISING. |
