ALS Awareness Month
The month of May is ALS Awareness Month. It's commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease, and affects the nerve cells that make muscles work. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 5,000 people are diagnosed with ALS each year. Dr. Amir Sabouri, the ALS clinic medical director at Kaiser Permanente, joined us on 'The Nine' for more insight into the disease.
