Knowledge is power, and we’re here to keep you informed. Our rolling schedule of classes covers topics such as:

Our MS Wellness Program empowers you to take charge of your health. From strength-building through weight training and sharing knowledge with others, to participating in events, our program fosters strength, community, and education in the journey with multiple sclerosis.

For the first time, I learned how I can actively fight MS. And I fight it by keeping my body strong and less stressed. When I do that, it helps my strength, my flexibility, and my cognitive issues. I am probably more fit today at 69 than I was in my 40s!
