You don’t have to leave your home to participate in the Greater Illinois Chapter’s education programs!
On the second Monday of each month, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society hosts a Midwest Regional Teleconference -- a series brought to you by the Greater Illinois Chapter in collaboration with the Society's Gateway, Indiana and Mid-America chapters. These teleconferences discuss different aspects of living with multiple sclerosis and are presented by a professional expert from one of the participating chapters.
All teleconferences are recorded, and the recordings may be downloaded from the Presentation Archive of the Greater Illinois Chapter's Lending Library. Copies are also available on CD and can be borrowed by calling 1.800.344.4867.
