What is the MGA?
Myasthenia Gravis is an autoimmune, neuromuscular disease which is
manageable through various treatments, but is not curable.
The Myasthenia Gravis Association of Kansas City is a nonprofit, United Way
agency that offers a variety of services to MG patients and their caregivers.
The MGA works with several neurologists in the greater Kansas City area to
provide clinical diagnosis and treatments. We also provide education and
advocacy, patient support group meetings, and a quarterly newsletter.
Our programs and clinical support are sustained through fundraisers and
membership drives and with the help of our volunteers. You can view our
organizational profile and make a secure credit card donation Here.
