About us
MS Focus: Multiple Sclerosis Foundation provides a comprehensive approach to helping people with MS maintain their health and well-being. We offer programming and support to keep them self-sufficient and their homes safe, while our educational programs heighten public awareness and promote understanding about the disease. Our resources assist people who have MS, their families and caregivers, regional support groups, and healthcare professionals. Access to our programs and services is available through our interactive web site or our national, toll-free helpline staffed by caring caseworkers and peer counselors. Our priority is to serve with empathy, resourcefulness and responsibility. All MS Focus services, as well as information, literature and subscriptions to our publications are provided free of charge. The MS Focus neither sells memberships nor requires participation in fund-raising activities by individuals or support groups. The MS Focus is a service-based, non-profit organization. With national headquarters in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the MS Focus serves the nation from one central location. By eliminating the need for branch offices, we are able to maintain a more cost-effective and efficient operation while maintaining the highest quality service. Networking with independent, grassroots organizations gives us a local presence in communities around the nation.
