The Multiple Sclerosis Association of America (MSAA) is a national nonprofit organization
dedicated to enriching the quality of life for everyone affected by multiple sclerosis.. MSAA provides ongoing support and direct services to these individuals with MS and the people close to them. MSAA also serves to promote greater understanding of the needs and challenges of those who face physical obstacles.
 In addition to a variety of programs and services such as consultations, support groups, equipment distribution, home modifications, MRI diagnostic funding, and public awareness campaigns MSAA also provides valuable information through its quarterly magazine and other literature.

Since 1970, MSAAs philosophy and efforts have focused on improving the quality of day-to-day life, for people affected by MS. This organization strives to help each individual on a personal level, and relies heavily on volunteers and the ongoing support of the general public. MSAA invites everyone within their community to join our cause working together to break down barriers (physical, emotional, and social) and build up hope for those who are physically challenged. A national board of directors oversees MSAAs activities and the services it provides. Members of the Board include people with MS and leaders in business and community. Through their combined experience with MS, medicine, business, and government, these individuals are able to provide increased understanding and improved design to MSAAs staff and programs.
