Founded in 1986, the MSF is the oldest national MS support organization that focuses on both complementary and conventional health care options to address the varied symptoms associated with this lifelong neurological disorder. Through the MSF program services department, people may access valuable support services free of charge. In addition, the MSF provides gifts for research into the cause, treatment, prevention, and eventual cure of this still mysterious illness.
Research programs are underway at universities and clinics throughout the country.
Student work is also advanced through a MSF scholarship program. Today's students are tomorrow's health care providers and the MSF is doing much to focus learning on this troubling disorder. Through the MSF, independent MS groups obtain a national audience for their local programs. Regional support groups receive MSF financial assistance, and exchange of information and services as part of our growing network. Unique to their own communities, regional MS groups offer an important avenue for support and sharing.
