The National MS Society launched a new clinical affiliation program in October 2009. The program focuses on the experience of the patient and emphasizes comprehensive and coordinated MS care.
The Affiliated Centers for Comprehensive Care model:
- Focuses on the experience of the patient
- Recognizes the benefit for patients to have access to a full array of medical, psycho-social and rehabilitation services to address the varied and often complex issues related to living with MS
- Acknowledges clinical sites that demonstrate the ability to provide coordinated and comprehensive MS care to patients, while allowing flexibility in center operations and staffing models
- Involves a strong collaboration between the Society and center
We have initiated the review process for this program and will provide a comprehensive list of these centers when it is available.
