National Multiple Sclerosis Society

The National Multiple Sclerosis Society is one of the world's leading organizations addressing multiple sclerosis, the immune-mediated disease afflicting approximately 2.3 million people across the globe. MS is a complex and often aggressive disease, requiring a complex approach to combat it. The National Multiple Sclerosis Society provides this complex approach through its wide network of chapters and resources dispersed throughout the United States. The organization's mission is simple: To bring an end to MS. But, in order to achieve this, the organization follows a strategic plan, which incorporates expanding funding for research, improving access to healthcare and resources for patients through advocacy, connecting patients and families with one another, and increasing public knowledge about the disease. This interdisciplinary approach is supported by dozens of chapters across the United States staffed by thousands of volunteers.
