IRS990/Desc0Patient education programs MS Cure Fund spends the vast majority of its resources and grants funding on creating and executing patient education programs for people living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Events are held in private dining rooms at either hotels or restaurants. Thirty to sixty patients register and attend to listen and to ask questions of well respected MS neurologists. Patients find the interaction an opportunity invaluable and the MS neurologists truly enjoy having time to explain MS outside of the typical 15 minute office visits.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Health Fairs MS Cure Fund conducts semi-annual health fairs to provide a broad array of services and education to people living with MS and their care givers. The purpose of these health fairs is to improve the overall quality of life for MS patients in whatever manner best suits each patient. Over a dozen different categories of vendors will display. The vendors include massage therapists, yoga instruction, meditation guidance, MS specific physical therapy, residential adaptive equipment, motor vehicle adaptation, service dog providers and trainers, pharmaceutical representatives for disease modifying therapies and symptoms treatments, clinical trial recruiters. In addition, we have one to three speakers do presentations on informative and developing topics in MS. The health fairs are very much in demand and will continue to be a growth area for MS Cure Fund.
