Helping deliver leading edge equipment, services and technology, the Gleason Initiative provides ALS patients with purpose and the ability to communicate, interact, and be valuable. Technology and equipment have advanced over the past decade but these services can be taken even further. With these advanced tools, we feel that ALS patients will choose to live extraordinary lives.
