Follow-up for the MS Study Committee

During the 2008 South Carolina legislative session, a bill (S.775) was passed that created the Multiple Sclerosis Healthcare Access Study Committee. The committee is comprised of four people with MS and professionals from Health & Human Service, neurologists, the Medical and Hospital Associations, the SC Nurses Association, and the NMSS Mid Atlantic Chapter.

Since that time, the MS Study Committee has met to discuss healthcare issues important to people with MS. The MS Study Committee will continue to research and discuss ways in which to increase access to healthcare for people with MS in South Carolina . The committee will provide a report to the SC General Assembly in January 2009.
