Support Groups

About Myasthenia Gravis Association Support Groups

The MGA is dedicated to supporting individuals diagnosed with MG, their families, and their care teams. Whether someone is newly diagnosed or has been managing MG for many years, our team works tirelessly to ensure they feel supported and connected.


Our support group meetings are designed to provide a safe, welcoming space where individuals can share experiences, build connections, and find reassurance. We take a collaborative approach, incorporating participant feedback to tailor presentations and discussions to the topics that matter most to our community.

At its core, MGA's mission is to serve and support our community as they navigate the challenges of this chronic condition, helping them manage their health and improve their quality of life.
