Each patient receives an intensive evaluation that serves as a guide for a personalized treatment program and life-management plan. We begin by confirming the MS diagnosis and determining the exact limitations the disease is placing on the individual. Then we help patients develop and refine skills that enable them to be as independent and comfortable as possible. Depending on patient's current level of independence and the severity of their MS, care is tailored through either hospitalization and follow-up clinic visits or through the outpatient program. The outpatient program is designed for people having difficulty with MS, but don't require hospitalization.
Flexible scheduling makes the outpatient program a convenient alternative.
