Welcome Dr. Avila!

La enfermedad de las mil caras: mitos y verdades sobre la esclerosis múltiple La Dra. Patricia De Jesús derriba mitos sobre la esclerosis múltiple y resalta cómo el diagnóstico temprano puede cambiarlo todo.

Patricia De Jesús was first touched by MS in 1997 when she met her brother’s future mother-in-law, who had been diagnosed with the disease.

This family connection sparked an interest in MS research that would lead her to become an MS Society clinical care fellow, and to eventually open her own Multiple Sclerosis Center in Caguas, Puerto Rico.

Dr. De Jesús and others are not able to do this work alone. This month, we're asking you to support MS research by making a gift at: https://ntlms.org/44COHoZ
