CentraState’s MS Center
marks first anniversary

CentraState Medical Center’s Multiple Sclerosis Center, the first of its kind in Central and South Jersey, has marked its one-year anniversary. CentraState partnered with the National Multiple Sclerosis Society Mid-Jersey Chapter to bring comprehensive care closer to home for patients suffering from this chronic, often debilitating disease of the central nervous system.

According to a press release from CentraState, the MS Center helped treat nearly 100 patients since it opened, exceeding its expectations.

In partnership with CentraState’s Health Awareness Center, the center has plans to offer an exercise package designed for patients with MS. Earlier this year, the center also started a support group for patients with the disease. The Mid-Jersey chapter of the National MS Society donated $50,000 to CentraState to help fund the center.
