WHAT IS MGFA?
The Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America (MGFA) is the only national volunteer health agency dedicated solely to the fight against myasthenia gravis. MGFA has over 30 Chapters around the United States serving patients and their families and caregivers through support groups and programs. Each chapter is independently operated, but each shares the vision of a world without MG.
METRO NY CHAPTER MISSION
The mission of this chapter is to; provide support to persons diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis (MG), create public awareness of the illness, and raise the necessary funds to help find a cure for MG.
Living with abnormal muscle function is quite challenging. Through our support groups, we provide a face to face forum for the newly diagnosed, and those who have had the illness for some time to dialogue and share facts and information.
