The mission of the MS Society is to end the devastating effects of multiple sclerosis.

Description:
We achieve our mission through delivery of programs and services to people with MS, their families and friends. We also fund important research dedicated to finding a cause and a cure.

Thanks to significant advances in research, the FDA has approved several treatments that may alter the underlying disease course of multiple sclerosis, and early treatment is critically important. People with MS should consult their doctors about using one of these FDA-approved medications and other effective treatments for the symptoms of MS. If you or someone you know has MS, contact the National MS Society-North Central States Chapter for more information at
1-800-FIGHT MS.

Every hour of every day, someone is diagnosed with MS.....
.....this is why we are here.

History:
Founded in 1946, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society supports more MS research, offers more services for people with MS, provides more professional education programs, and furthers more MS advocacy efforts than any other MS organization in the world.

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 better serve their MS patients; and through our advocacy efforts 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.
