LEXINGTON, Ky. (April 14, 2021) UK HealthCare’s Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Center, a part of the Kentucky Neuroscience Institute, is celebrating one of its biggest achievements since it was created about three decades ago. The MS Center is now recognized as a Center for Comprehensive Care by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. To achieve this status a center must address the needs of those living with MS by coordinating multi-disciplinary care, from medical, psycho-social and rehabilitation services, to provide exceptional care.
“Being called a Comprehensive MS Care Center implies that physicians of multiple subspecialties come together under one roof for the patients, the availability of this kind of expertise offers a tremendous breadth of services available,” says Dr. Jay Avasarala, professor of neurology, who leads the MS team at UK HealthCare.
