Changes in insurance, co-pays and co-insurance - do you have a story?

We are looking for stories from people affected by MS in PA and NJ to bring awareness about the impact of the disease to our elected officials. We are especially interested in hearing from people who have seen their co-pays or co-insurance increase significantly or who have, due to cost, made the decision to stop taking their disease-modifying treatments. For more information and to tell your story, contact Karen Mariner.

Change is happening through MS Activism

An easy way to get involved as an MS activist is to sign up for Action Alerts. When there is a hot-button issue, we will send you an email alert with the email address and phone number of your local legislator and the full language that you need to contact them. How easy is that? Find out more about being an MS Activist in PA or NJ.

We are now accepting applications for summer intern positions. Interested students are encouraged to apply now by sending their cover letter and resume to Joy McManus. All internships are unpaid but may earn college credit. Click here for job descriptions.
