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.
