The Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centers      Meet Our Members

Founded in 1984, The Heuga Center is dedicated to providing medical, educational and research programs for people living with multiple sclerosis. All programs are based on the premise that having a chronic disease does not preclude leading a healthy, active, fulfilling life.

Since its inception, The Heuga Center has been providing medical/wellness programs for people with MS and their families. These programs are designed to supplement a person’s ongoing health care as well as educate and empower individuals when dealing with a myriad of options for dealing with MS. In the past 17 years The Heuga Center has spent nearly $19 million in direct services to the more than 6,500 people who have attended one of The Heuga Center’s medical wellness programs. The Heuga Center has also funded over $1 million in research into the benefits of exercise for people with multiple sclerosis.

The Heuga Center programs include its flagship five-day CAN DO program, two-day CAN DO 2 follow-up program and one-day educational programs known as JUMPSTART. The Heuga Center has a national multidisciplinary medical staff which provides education and recommendations for overall health management. This approach compliments a person’s ongoing MS management to optimize quality of life.
