The ALS Association Greater New York Chapter serves people living with ALS, as well as their family, friends, and caregivers. The Chapter hosts two support groups on Long Island, including this one in Suffolk County.
Our support groups allow you to share your thoughts and feelings in a safe and confidential environment with other people impacted by ALS, commonly referred to as Lou Gehrig’s Disease. Each month we enlist experts in various disciplines and allow for frank, open discussion, which can provide emotional and practical support to help you cope.
The Suffolk County support group meets the first Tuesday of each month at Stony Brook Hospital, Department of Neurology, 179 North Belle Meade Road, East Setauket, NY.
