Caring for you and your family.

Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic, often disabling disease of the central nervous system.
People with MS can have a variety of physical and emotional health care needs. The Multiple Sclerosis Center at Providence Holy Family Hospital offers a multi-disciplinary "team" approach to treating persons with Multiple Sclerosis. The team combines the knowledge of health professionals to provide neurologic and nursing care, individual and family counseling and education, rehabilitation therapy and social services.
Our mission is to help improve the quality of life for people living with Multiple Sclerosis and their families, by combining thoughtful individualized evaluation and medical care with support and education to our patients and their loved ones.

What is Multiple Sclerosis?
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, often disabling disease of the central nervous system. Symptoms may be mild such as numbness in the limbs or severe paralysis or loss of vision. Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 40, but the unpredictable physical and emotional effects can be lifelong. The progress, severity and specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot yet be predicted, but advances in research and treatment are giving hope to those affected by the disease.
At the Providence Holy Family Multiple Sclerosis Center, our dedicated staff provide all aspects of care, including:

Medical treatment and management of symptoms.
Promoting mobility for persons with physical impairments.
Minimizing secondary complications.
Helping maximize independence and productivity.
Helping patients and their families cope with the psychological implications of MS.
Encouraging people with MS and their families to participate in rehabilitation programs.
Providing education and information to patients, families, health care professionals and the community.
Networking with community resources to locate needed services.
Design, conduct and participate in MS research studies.

The Center is affiliated with the Inland Northwest Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Together we offer MS support groups, educational programs for the community and a resource library.
