About our Affiliates and Partners

The CMSC has several partner organizations. Our affiliates are not-for-profit organizations who contribute to MS care or have a special interest in multiple sclerosis. In addition to their financial contributions, our partners provide excellent resources for CMSC"s educational, research, and networking activities. Through our affiliation with MS societies, we conduct educational and outreach programs for persons with MS, their families and MS professionals. Our close ties to the veterans associations help us promote research and clinical practice guidelines for veterans with MS. Our partners are a key resource for the CMSC; please show them your support by visiting their web sites.
