A full range of multiple sclerosis support options is one reason the National MS Society has designated Norton Neuroscience Institute Hussung Family Multiple Sclerosis Center as a Center for Comprehensive MS Care.

Experiencing a chronic disease prone to unpredictable symptoms, MS patients benefit from comprehensive care that includes the expertise and viewpoints of health care providers from many specialties.

An array of medical, nursing, mental health, rehabilitation and social services are available to MS patients managing their disease and symptoms.

Norton Neuroscience Institute Resource Centers provide MS patients with social workers and a patient navigator available to help improve access to care, provide valuable information to help patients manage their disease and address their quality of life issues.

Services at Norton Neuroscience Institute Resource Centers are available at no cost to Norton Neuroscience Institute patients, thanks to donations to the Norton Healthcare Foundation.

Norton Neuroscience Institute Resource Centers have devoted a team to work exclusively with patients and families navigating a multiple sclerosis diagnosis, including:

• MS nurse navigator: Works with the treatment team to provide diagnosis and medication education and patient navigation resources to help patients along their journey
• Social worker: Helps families on matters including payment assistance for medications and coordination of in-home assistance
• Psychologist: Assists patients and families with common issues faced by those with MS, including anxiety and depression
• Pharmacist: Assists patients with prescription guidance and navigation of testing and other medication requirements

Norton Neuroscience Institute Resource Centers and the dedicated MS support staff ensure all patient questions are answered and work with you and your caregivers to coordinate exceptional care.
