Annual Report - The ALS Association Greater Philadelphia Chapter
2010-2011 Annual Report February 1, 2010 - January 31, 2011 Fisc al Year 2011 w w w. a l s p h i l a d e l p h i a . o r g One bright future.  Dear Partners, Like you, we believe in The ALS Association Greater Philadelphia Chapter. FOR the past four years, ALS patient Arlene Gordon of Downingtown, PA has traveled to National ALS Advocacy Day in PALS Arlene Gordon (Center), with Washington, DC with her daugh- daughter Deanna Shanahan (left) and ter, Deanna, and husband Jeff. In Chapter Mental Health Nurse, Jennifer Klapper in Washington, DC. a city known for complex policy making, Arlene’s position is very simple, “I felt compelled to take the message of needed funding for ALS research to our elected officials on Capitol Hill for all of the ALS patients who are not able to do so,” says Arlene. She has met with the offices of US Representatives Chaka Fattah, Jim Gerlach and Bob Brady. Arlene went to DC to say, “I have ALS and I need your help...” not easy words. We look ahead to advances in care, and ultimately a cure. We will continue to work with our government for legislation to help ALS families. Our comprehensive Clinics, vital services and programs will never be compromised. One Bright Future - that is our mutual goal. Thank you for making it possible. In 2010, our Chapter sent over 55 people, including 11 people with ALS to Washington DC as part of the annual Advocacy Day and Public Policy Conference. Advocates met with 22 legislators representing our service area. Advocacy efforts in recent years have been enormously fruitful as evidenced by these accomplishments: • Persuaded Congress to enact the ALS Registry Act and secured nearly $16 million in continued funding; • Advocated for historic regulations at the Department of Veterans Affairs that make ALS a service connected disease, providing military veterans and their survivors access to more than $130 million in health and disability benefits in 2009 alone; • Received continued funding for the ALS Research Program at the Department of Defense through a $7.5 million appropriation in FY2010. A total of nearly $18 million has now been provided to the ALSRP, which is specifically designed to identify new treatments for ALS; and • Secured appropriations of $5 million over two years to fund the Lifespan Respite Care Act, which we originally helped to pass in 2006 and will support state-based respite care programs to assist family caregivers. •O N the local level, The ALS Association’s two Pennsylvania Chapters received funding of $325,000 for 2010 from the PA Department of Health to be used to help people with ALS across the state. Representative Josh Shapiro, along with Representative Dwight Evans, was instrumental in securing this important funding.  Ellyn C. Phillips James V. Pinciotti President Executive Director mission The mission of The ALS Association Greater Philadelphia Chapter is to lead the fight to treat and cure ALS through global research and nationwide advocacy while also empowering people with Lou Gehrig’s Disease and their families to live fuller lives by providing them with Left to right – Seated, ALS patients Mike Kilpatric and Wes Rose join Ray Rose to enjoy a moment with State Representative Josh Shapiro (standing rear) at the Chapter’s 2010 Annual Luncheon. 2 compassionate care and support. Lea R. Powell ALS Patient Services Program Keeping the Promise of Care You help support $3 million in services and programs for patients each year ON ANY GIVEN DAY, 14 people will be told, “You have ALS.” And with this debilitating diagnosis, a daughter in Williamsport, PA will wonder how she will care for her mother. A grandfather in Harrisburg plans out how he can maneuver in his home. A family in Seaside Heights, NJ discusses how their lives will change. Since 1984, these issues and many more have been carefully addressed by The ALS Association Greater Philadelphia Chapter. Services from in-home care…to accessibility… to comprehensive care in our clinics are free of charge. Your contributions assist more than 850 ALS families served by the Chapter. Visiting Volunteer Linda Brotschol with ALS patient Denise Naylor of Levittown, PA sip the libations at Hot Chocolate. Patient Care ALS Certified Centers At each center, patients and caregivers meet with up to 12 specialists. The Clinics are multidisciplinary centers for the evaluation and treatment of ALS and related disorders. Clinic professionals establish a definitive diagnosis in patients referred for the disease and then provide care in a supportive environment which will enable patients to attain the best possible level of neurological functioning and quality of life. There were 770 patient visits to The ALS Association Certified Center at the Penn Comprehensive Neuroscience Center at Pennsylvania Hospital and 488 visits to the ALS Center at Penn State Hershey Medical Center.  Susan Walsh, RN, ACNS-BC greets ALS patient Bettina Varner of Shermans Dale, PA who was assessed at the Hershey Clinic. There were 2 clinical studies enrolling patients in Hershey and 6 studies enrolling patients at Penn. Kasey Watson- Williams communicates using a letterboard with her husband Brian of Glen Mills, PA at his Clinic visit. Affiliate ALS Treatment Centers: We also provide support for two additional clinics in our service region. One is located at the Lehigh Valley Hospital and the other at Geisinger Medical Center.  ALS Board Member and volunteer Dale Shimer assists patient Cheryl Connolly of Abington, PA during her visit to the Penn Clinic. 3 Assistance The Lea R. Powell Program offers an array of educational, recreational, patient care, family assistance and outreach programs for ALS families. Home Care The Chapter funded nearly 20,000 hours of in-home and respite care last year. • The Howard I. Abrams In-Home Care Program provided up to 10 hours of weekly care for patients living at home. 90 patients were served with 18,511 hours of care. • Respite Care Programs offered caregivers of 32 patients a total of 854 hours for non-ventilator patients. Additionally, 8 ventilator - dependent patients received a total of 487 hours of care. The Marjorie Shimer Equipment Loan Program loaned a total of 496 items including wheelchairs, hospital beds, bath benches and other durable medical equipment throughout our entire service area. This is why the Mackler program is so important. We provide devices to people who do not have insurance, or are living in nursing homes, or are on hospice and whose insurance will not fund communication devices. Alisa Brownlee , the Assistive Technology Specialist (ATP) speaks frequently about the state of this field for The ALS Association and conducts in-service educational programs for healthcare professionals. She is one of eight Chapter AT Specialists. In her capacity with The ALS Association, Ms. Brownlee initiated an “Ask the Expert” button on our website and in 2010, over 250 inquiries to Alisa from patients, families and allied healthcare professionals regarding Assistive Technology were made. She orchestrated 11 Web-Ex presentations for people with ALS and their families covering such topics as help with reading, calling for help, computer access for patients and home and van modifications. The Cox Family Fund for Accessibility assisted 66 patients with a total of 27 stair glides, 27 ramps, and 12 emergency call systems at no cost or reduced cost to them. The Scott A. Mackler, MD, PhD. Assistive Technology Program addresses our patients’ assistive technology needs. An annual run/walk in Dr. Mackler’s name raises about $50,000 each year for the Chapter. People with ALS have many assistive technology needs including power or manual wheelchairs, communication devices, computer access equipment, specialty phones, and other electronic devices that will enable patients to control their environment. These also include simple devices such as television controls. Many insurances cover mobility and communication devices as a medical necessity under their durable medical equipment policy. However, computer access equipment, specialty devices that allow patients to stay connected to the world, are not considered medically necessary and our ALS families either have to pay out of pocket for these devices or borrow them from the ALS loaner program. Jouse2 joystick mouse and headset with microphone is used by ALS patient Greg Telthorster. 4 The Miller family of New Jersey uses their Cox Ramp to get out and enjoy the day. “Through technology intervention all things are possible.” “The joy that this adaptive equipment has brought me is immeasurable! It continues to allow me to be communicative, creative and independent” Greg Telthorster Transportation Program The Chapter’s three wheelchair-accessible vans made a total of 150 runs during the last fiscal year, transporting patients and their caregivers to medical appointments and recreational visits. Vans are ventilator accessible. The Chapter subcontracts wheelchair accessible transport for patients living outside a 60-mile radius from the main office in Ambler, PA. ALS Van Driver Thomas Mitchell transports Goldie White of Philadelphia to the Penn Clinic for her appointment. Education Inservice Programs Educational In-service Programs were provided by staff to assist healthcare workers caring for ALS patients on 35 occasions. In one program shown here at Aristocare in Plymouth Meeting, PA, nurses, aides, social workers and other healthcare professionals learned about ALS so that they could better assist the two ALS patients living at this facility. Speech, assistive technology, medications, and eating and breathing issues were addressed to help improve the quality of life for our patients. The Greater Philadelphia Chapter is proud to offer the comprehensive ALS Patient and Caregiver Resource Manual, which provides detailed ALS-related information for those living with ALS with an emphasis on local services and resources. One copy of this manual is available at no charge to ALS patients and families in our service area. Additional copies, as well as copies for medical professionals, are available at our cost. Resources and Seminars helped patients and their caregivers better understand and cope with the diagnosis of ALS. Programs included 4 Managing ALS teleconferences with a record total of 140 people participating. Additionally 4 Newly Diagnosed programs, 13 Monthly Resource Groups throughout the region and 1 Bereavement Group provided an opportunity to address questions and concerns and share experiences with others. NEW! This year a special group for Women With ALS was established and a group for Gail Houseman, RN, CNS, BC (right rear in red) and Susan Schwartz, ACSW, LSW (to Gail’s left) facilitated the Aristocare Program. Husbands of Women with ALS now meets bi-monthly. All resource groups are free of charge for patients, caregivers and family members. A new Chapter website, The Woman’s Voice is a place where women with ALS can help each other as they share their wisdom and listen to each other’s concerns, particularly concerns relating to human connections, nurturing and family that are often a central focus for women. 5 Recreation Recreational activities become very important to those with limited movement and respite for caregivers in the form of a fun, relaxing endeavor is essential. Programs included ALS family trips to Longwood Gardens with 78 attendees. 83 PALS and their families visited Morey’s Piers in Wildwood, NJ and the Annual Holiday Party drew 183 guests who enjoyed music by Hot Hot Hot Entertainment, caricatures, balloon art, henna tattooing, food, fun gifts and games. Specialty Programs Grandmom Nancy Hoppe of Yardley shows the love for her family at the Chapter’s annual Holiday Party. Nurturing the Nurturer 63 caregivers attended this day designed for the relaxation of caregivers. They arranged flowers, beaded, received massages and hot shaves, learned how to apply makeup and engaged in cake decorating classes. Visiting Volunteer Program Established in 2002, this program provides a “friendly visitor” to a person with ALS in his/her home to read books, share common interests, write letters, run errands, make phone calls, use computer software and more. This past year, the Chapter was fortunate to have 23 active Visiting Volunteers visiting 30 patients regularly. It’s flowers galore at the bi-annual Nurturing the Nurturer day.

ALS Research Update In fiscal year 2010, ALS research took giant steps forward. ALS Association sponsored Research was conducted around the world, in many cases with our Chapter’s dollars. New genes, discoveries and technologies are being used to ultimately uncover more effective treatments. The ALS Association partners with the National Institutes of Health, the Department of Defense, biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies and other ALS organizations on innovative research. Studies are concentrating not just on the motor neuron as the culprit of ALS, but on astrocytes and glial cells that are outside of the motor neuron and may be impacting the motor neurons environment. Clinical trials were an important part of the ALS pipeline to the cure. These included: • Phase 1 trial using antisense treatment to turn off the SOD1 gene. • Phase 2 trial using Knopp-Biogen drug • Phase 2 trial of Ceftriaxone • Phase 1 trial of transplantation of stem cells into the spinal column Right here at home, a study at the University of Pennsylvania identified a new genetic risk factor—and interaction between ataxin and TDP-43. Further away, but just as important, an ALS Association funded Genome Study in Finland identified Chromosome 9 as a link to ALS. “ I am privileged to represent the ALS community as the consumer member on the ALSRP Integration Panel. I have seen firsthand the dedicated work of these prominent researchers and clinicians. The projects selected are of the highest quality and designed to conduct innovative preclinical research to develop new treatments for ALS.” Ellyn Phillips Chapter President and DOD’s ALS Consumer Advocate In December, The ALS Association hosted the 21st international ALS/MND Symposium in Orlando Florida. This conference brings together the world’s greatest minds focusing on ALS to share information. More researchers are entering the ALS field, optimistic that they can unravel the mystery of ALS. Mary Kelly, MSN, RN, CRNP comforts ALS patient Charles Zimmerman* who succumbed to ALS in 2011. 7 EVENTS It’s about compassion. It’s about you. You are not waiting for changes.

The Walk to Defeat ALS® has grown, with 150,000 participants nationwide raising more than $18.5 million each year to support the year-round work of The ALS Association. The Rehoboth Beach Walk to Defeat ALS® attracts a huge crowd. The ALS Association, Greater Philadelphia Chapter Regions Served In our region, the event continues to be a milestone in our community‘s effort to combat this devastating disease. Since its inception, Walk to Defeat ALS® participants and sponsors have made this event a powerful and effective response to ALS. Held in locations throughout our service area, the Walk to Defeat ALS® empowers patients, friends, families, and the business community to do something about a disease that leaves many feeling powerless. The Walk to Defeat ALS® raised over $1.26 million for our Chapter in fiscal year 2011. The Walk is recognized as one of the most cost-efficient fundraising events in the United States: $0.91 of every $1 raised goes to support global research and patient service programs.
