Early detection is imperative to minimizing the potential effects of multiple sclerosis. It is critical that medical professionals have access to the most recent and accurate research, treatment options and data about MS available.
The Chapter is the primary resource for MS information for professionals. The Chapter’s ultimate goal in educating and partnering with healthcare professionals is to enhance the access and quality of care available to people with MS.
