These fabulous women connected at MS Achievement Center & call each other friend🤗🤗🤗
Creating connection with others who understand is one of the best things about MSAC! We would love to connect even more people with progressed MS to our MSAC community❣ Will you help us?

We hosted our first Health Conference at MS Achievement Center this summer. The conference, "Beyond the Diagnosis," brought together people with chronic neurological conditions, carepartners, students and health professionals for education and connection. As one participant said, "I am walking away with renewed energy, a deeper understanding and fresh ideas to carry forward. Thanks to MSAC for a fantastic day of interaction, collaboration and education."
We are brainstorming ideas for our next conference in 2026!

Did you know the MS Achievement Center works with occupational and physical therapy students from KU, Rockhurst, MU, Hanover and other colleges and universities in the area? The students gain valuable experience in working with people facing the challenges of MS, and our MSAC members enjoy connecting with and learning from the students.
Last week students shared this info about conserving energy during Brain Fit!

Many people with MS discover an improved sense of well-being and greater satisfaction with their symptom management by taking vitamins, minerals, herbs and other supplements. (But as noted in the graphic for this post, always check first with your healthcare provider before starting any vitamins/supplements.)
