NMSS Update:
Veteran Resources
From Doris Lill, a Director with our Healthcare Access team. Doris shared updates about services and resources available for veterans, as well as information about how the Society is partnering with the VA to provide support to those living with MS. Please feel free to reach out to Doris at Doris.Lill@nmss.org if you or a group member has any questions about veteran’s resources or services. In addition, I’ve attached a document that highlights specific resources available for veterans. Veteran_flyer 2020-11.pdf
MS Connections
You can always access call recordings and slide decks on our Connections Program Volunteers site. These can be great resources to share on your upcoming virtual meetings. Older calls can now be accessed on our call archive site. We’ll be changing our drop-in call cadence to every other week after November 5th. Stay tuned for November topics.
In the meantime, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me or our support team at peerconnections@nmss.org with any questions.
With joy,
Hannah
