It has special programs for individuals with clinically isolated syndromes, pregnancy and MS, and spasticity management. The Center also provides neurological care to residents of Inglis House, which is home to more than 160 individuals with MS.
The Center has ongoing research into immunology of neurology disorders, new treatment and diagnostic approaches, novel imaging modalities, outcome and genetic studies in MS.
