National Ms Society, Greater Northwest Chapter

The National MS Society helps each person affected by MS in our area address the challenges of living with MS. Locally, the Greater Northwest Chapter of the National MS Society helps by raising funds for cutting-edge research, driving change through advocacy, facilitating professional education and providing programs and services that empower people with MS and their families to move their lives forward. Our staff and volunteers are dedicated to achieving a world free of MS. Through our Chapter’s support services and educational programs for people living with MS and their families and friends, we help connect people in our local communities who want to do something about MS now. We offer many programs — including professional counseling and peer facilitated support groups, educational programs and seminars, referrals to neurologists and healthcare professionals, national teleconferences and internet programs, services for the homebound, and social and recreational programs to assist people with MS and their families in leading productive and fulfilling lives. Our community support helps to fund our local programs and accelerate worldwide research projects to ensure no opportunity is wasted. Generosity can come from anywhere. We are thankful to our members and their friends, corporate partners and the general public who help us raise the money to move us closer to a world free of MS. The Greater Northwest Chapter serves over 15,500 people living with MS and 110,500 others including family, friends, caregivers and health care professionals in Alaska, Northern Idaho, Montana and Washington.
