National Multiple Sclerosis Society NYC Chapter

Last updated on July 29, 2008

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.

Description:
The New York City Chapter is committed to providing comprehensive programs and support services to help people with MS and their families better cope with the consequences of the disease. Whether providing accurate and up-to-date information and referrals, helping people obtain or keep jobs, providing comprehensive medical care or running rehabilitation and counseling programs, the goal of the Chapter's support system is to empower people with MS and their loved ones so that they can better control their lives.

History:
Since it was founded in 1946, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society has spent more for MS research than any non-governmental agency in the world. The Society invests more than $34 million annually to fuel the efforts of hundreds of researchers throughout the U.S. and abroad. That investment is paying off in significant advances toward finding improved treatments, as well as better diagnoses, rehabilitation and symptom therapy.
