Changing the Future:
New Trends in Multiple Sclerosis Research and Treatment
The pace of developments in multiple sclerosis research and treatment has
brought breakthroughs we could only dream of just a few years ago. But
what is known, and what is still unknown, is an important distinction that
merits a closer look.
Join us on Sunday, October 24 for the 2nd annual Multiple Sclerosis
Symposium, presented by the Corinne Goldsmith Dickinson Center for MS,
The Mount Sinai Medical Center, New York.
This free, day-long event, held in the stunning Grand Hyatt New York hotel,
is a unique opportunity to hear leading scientists and physicians explain
the latest findings in MS therapeutics and patient care. In a special
lunchtime session, meet Zoe Koplowitz, author of The Winning Spirit: Life
Lessons Learned In Last Place, as she prepares for her 24th marathon — a
test of perseverance and courage.
Be a part of this important update from the nation’s leading clinical and
research experts in MS. Make your reservation today.
