Mission Statement
The National MS Society is working toward a world free of MS. We mobilize people and resources to drive research for a cure and to address the challenges of everyone affected by MS.
Description
The National Multiple Sclerosis Society (MS Society) was founded in 1946 with a sole mission to end the devastating effects of multiple sclerosis. In support of its mission, the Society continues to surpass the efforts of any other MS organization worldwide. The MS Society supports cutting-edge research, offers comprehensive services to its clients, provides professional education programs and advocates change on behalf of those affected by MS. The South Florida Chapter, formed in 1954, provides programs and services for over 7,000 individuals with MS and their families in ten counties and furthers MS research to improve treatment, determine the cause and uncover a cure. The programs department strives to enable people with MS to maintain their maximum level of physical and emotional health through physical therapy, specifically designed exercise programs, equipment, support groups, educational programs and individual emotional support.
