With more than 400,000 Americans living with multiple sclerosis (MS) – and a large percentage of them right here in the Pacific Northwest – Swedish is responding to the needs of our community by creating a state-or-the-art MS Center.
The new, 11,700 square foot Swedish MS Center will provide not only the latest medical treatments to alleviate symptoms, but also physical, occupational and speech therapies, cognitive rehabilitation, nutritional consultation, ophthalmologic and urologic services. The Center will be a place where physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers and staff are all focused on helping people live more fully with MS.
The Center will include comprehensive wellness services, with a variety of exercise programs offered in a gym filled with equipment to specifically meet the needs of MS patients. The Center will also include yoga classes, social workers, vocational counselors, individual and family support groups, rehab therapists and many educational resources all within a supportive environment.
Just as it takes a community of care providers to help MS patients live full lives, it also takes a community of donors to make this new Center a reality. Your support is needed. Please make a gift today to help the thousands of people living with MS in the Puget Sound region.
