Tune in to learn what this means for you and the treatment of your MS. \nREGISTER NOW\nThis program is possible thanks to the generous support of the following sponsors: \n  \n                            \nLearn more about Bristol Myers Squibb                            Learn more about Kyverna URL:https://cando-ms.org/event/car-t-therapy-an-emerging-treatment-for-ms/ LOCATION:https://cando-ms.org/event/car-t-therapy-an-emerging-treatment-for-ms/ CATEGORIES:MS Treatments ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cando-ms.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/HealthcareTeam_BlackDoctorWithOlderPatientTalking_WebSize.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20241005T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20241005T150000 DTSTAMP:20250323T052722 CREATED:20231215T210335Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241004T030043Z UID:10000621-1728122400-1728140400@cando-ms.org SUMMARY:MS Community Program | Michigan DESCRIPTION:At this program\, you’ll join the brightest MS professionals and the most positive MS warriors in thoughtful conversation about the things that matter most to you. \nWhat To Expect \n• Get personalized guidance to help you navigate MS DMTs\, stay active\, and care for your mental health.\n• Learn from the pros at leading MS centers.\n• Connect with other members of your MS community.\n• Care partners\, family members\, and loved ones are welcome!\n• Lunch will be provided. \nOnline registration has closed.
