Welcome to the official Myasthenia Gravis Association of Western PA (MGA) website.  MGA was created in 1955 and has a long history of serving those with myasthenia gravis.  The organization is located in Pittsburgh, PA on the campus of Mercy Hospital and provides a variety of services for those affected by MG. 

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disorder that can affect a variety of muscles.  While there is no known cure for MG, most patients can live normal lives with the help of medication.  

MGA is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization and relies on donations and fundraising to continue the important services offered to patients free of charge.  If you'd like to make a contribution, please visit our donation page.

Even though MGA is based in Pennsylvania, we regularly assist people all over the world with free materials.  Our goal is to provide a higher quality of life to those with MG along the way to helping to find a cure.  If you're new the website and want to see what we have to offer, please view our services.
