Multiple Sclerosis Symposium: Knowledge for Every Journey
Join us for an educational symposium for individuals living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and their care partners in the Callaway Auditorium on the 7th floor. This community event will feature MS specialists who will share information on current topics in MS care, treatment, and research. Attendees will learn more about the prevalence of MS, advances in care, and the direction of future research, and will have the opportunity to ask questions and engage in meaningful discussion.
Whether you are newly diagnosed, have been living with MS for years, or support a loved one with MS, this symposium is designed to empower you with information, resources, and a deeper understanding of the evolving landscape of MS care. Open to Shepherd Center patients, non-patients, care partners, and the entire MS community.
This symposium is free, and breakfast and lunch will be provided.
