Multiple Sclerosis Program
Overview
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) has been recognized as one of the most debilitating
neurological disorders typically affecting patients between ages 20-60.
Since its inception in 2009, the Multiple SclerosisProgram has played
an instrumental role in providing various levels of education as well
as state-of-the-art evaluation, diagnosis and implementation of advanced
treatment modalities for multiple sclerosis, neuromyelitisoptica (Devic’s
disease) and other complex neuroimmunological disorders.
The Multiple Sclerosis program involves community neurologists, and focuses
on the medical treatment of the disease, management of symptoms, promoting
mobility of patients with physical impairments, minimizing secondary complications,
maximizing independence, improving quality of life, coping with psychological
implications and providing education to patients and their families.
