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.
History of MGFA History
Jane Ellsworth founded the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America, Inc. in 1952, when her teenage daughter, Pat, was diagnosed with MG. Finding little information was available, Jane established the MGFA to create a foundation whose mission was to have "A World without MG". This newly formed foundation provided patients and families with the information and support needed to understand and cope with MG. Until a cure is found, the MGFA will continue Jane Ellsworth's efforts to help patients and their families manage the difficulties of living with MG.
