Advocacy involves efforts to influence the public and private sector that benefit and provide results for people living with multiple sclerosis and their families. We focus on a variety of topics including issues pertaining to people with chronic illnesses or disabilities, access to health care and quality health insurance, prescription drug coverage, discrimination, housing, transportation, and accessibility.
