OHSU MS Center, founded in 1984, has grown into a robust program with several clinics a week at OHSU and the VAPORHCS. Multiple fellowship trained neurologists and a multidisciplinary team of providers provide ongoing care to over 1,500 people with MS and other central nervous system (CNS) neuroimmunologic disorders and to evaluate new patient referrals each year. We diagnose and manage patients from all over Oregon, Southern Washington and elsewhere in the Pacific Northwest.

Our multidisciplinary team includes a pharmacist, nurse, medical assistant, social worker, physical, occupational and speech therapists, a neuro‑urologist, neuropsychologists, psychiatrists, neuro‑ophthalmologists, neuroradiologists and hematologist/oncologists.

We have infusion centers available at both OHSU and the VAPORHCS.

Along with disease modifying therapies and rehabilitation interventions, we emphasize the importance of wellness approaches to our patients, including low fat diet, exercise, stress reduction and judicious use of supplements. We are proud to be a National MS Society (NMSS) Center for Comprehensive MS Care (the only one in Oregon) and a member of the Consortium of MS Centers (CMSC).
