Managing Invisible Symptoms | June 2, 2023
5th Annual More About MS Patient Program
Can Do MS Mission
Can Do Multiple Sclerosis delivers health and wellness education programs to help families living with MS thrive.
More about MS: Taking Charge of Your MS Care for Optimal Disease & Symptom Management
“More About MS: Taking Charge of Your MS Care” will be an educational program for all those affected by MS (patients, families, support partners). The program will take place during the CMSC Annual Meeting in June 2023. The program, in its fifth year, was developed to provide access to MS focused health care providers who will discuss up to date information and to provide a forum for people with MS and their support partners to connect with and learn from others experiencing similar issues. The 2023 program will build on the successful past More About MS programs, and will include informative discussions, interactive activities, and opportunities to connect with others. To maximize attendance, this program will be available for both in-person and online participation. The program will be archived for additional on-demand viewing.
