About the Program:

This webinar will guide people living with ALS and their loved ones through easy-to-understand actionable steps for securing a financial future and optimizing health care.

Financial and Estate Planning for the ALS Community is an interactive webinar, where you will have a chance to learn about important financial and legal issues to consider, how to put plans in place, and how to access legal and financial resources. By planning appropriately, you can focus on living.
