Episode 338: Inside MS Advocacy and This Year's Public Policy Conference with Steffany Stern

You've probably heard me say more than once that the things people affected by MS want most -- access to quality healthcare, affordable prescription medications, and funding for MS research -- are, to a large extent, all functions of public policy. The people who decide whether we get these things are our elected officials. That's why advocacy is so critically important.

The National MS Society's Public Policy Conference gets underway on March 4th, and joining me with a preview of this year's conference is the MS Society's Vice-President of Advocacy, Steffany Stern.

We're also taking a deep dive into a paper just published by a group of MS experts detailing the current status of progressive MS research, identifying lessons learned along the way, and calling out the remaining challenges to better understanding MS progression.

We're sharing the details of how and where to register for this week's global webcast being hosted by the International Progressive MS Alliance.

And I'm remembering my wife, Jeanne, on the fourth anniversary of her passing.

We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!
