MSAA is crossing the United States bringing specialized MS Health Fairs to targeted areas. The Health Fairs are funded by a grant from Serno, Inc./ Pfizer,Inc. See below for a complete listing of remaining Health Fair locations.
The MSAA Health Fairs are full-day seminars designed to bring a small group of clients and professionals together to exchange information and develop an individual strategy for the successful management of every aspect of MS. Each Health Fair will feature a prominent MS neurologist and small team of specialized professionals, such as nurses, physical therapists and disability resource specialists. After having the opportunity to spend time with the neurologist, clients will then gather in small break-out groups to learn valuable skill building and empowerment techniques. The program will also feature a morning welcome and overview presentation by the neurologist, a seated luncheon, a general Q&A period, and conclude with an evaluation session.
