National Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome (National MALS Foundation) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the mission of providing hope and support (body, mind and spirit) to those suffering from the debilitating symptoms of MALS through Advocacy, Awareness, Educational, and Research within the clinical and mainstream communities. Our vision is to see a future in which MALS patients receive a timely diagnosis and comprehensive supportive medical care; medical training involves new research provided to better understand this multifactorial disease; and a partnership of trust builds between the MALS and Medical Communities.
