Organization Description

Through our MS patient shared visits we have earned national recognition for providing empowerment and educational opportunities for patients and their family members managing multiple sclerosis. Guided by our physician and nurse specialists, patients learn from their peers in a collaborative, supportive environment while gaining valuable patient information for comprehensive care.

Program Information

The MS Achievement Center is a day wellness program serving those with the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. We are a nonprofit and are under the umbrella of Dignity Health and The Mercy Foundation. We offer two programs during the week. Tuesday-Thursday is Empowered to Achieve which is our 5 hour signature program which includes both individualized and group exercises with education and social support, cognitive stimulation and recreational therapy. Fridays we run Achieving Wellness. This is our 2.5 hour signature program which includes both individualized and group exercises with education and social support, cognitive stimulation and recreational therapy.
