Our Mission
The National MS Society is committed to building a movement by and for people with MS that will move us closer to a world free of this disease. We do this through the extensive research we support to find the cause, cure and improved treatments of the disease; the comprehensive services we provide to people with MS and their families; the professional education programs we offer to assist health care providers to better serve their MS patients; and through the advocacy work wer further on state and federal levels to encourage public policies supportive of the needs of people with multiple sclerosis. This is why we at the National Multiple Sclerosis Society are here. Our activities are made possible through private donations, grants, sponsorships and fundraising campaigns such as the MS Walk and OctoBREWfest Auction.
People with MS and family members who are registered with our office receive our quarterly newsletter MS Connection, mailings about programs, events and volunteer opportunities.
Spread the Word!
Studies show that early and ongoing treatment with an FDA-approved therapy can reduce future disease activity and improve quality of life for many people with multiple sclerosis. National MS Society medical advisors recommend that people with MS talk with their health care professional about using one of these medications, and about strategies and effective treatments to manage symptoms. If you or someone you know has MS, please contact the Society today nationalmssociety.org or (1-800-344-4867) to learn about ways to help manage multiple sclerosis and about current research that may one day reveal a cure.
