The Ohio Buckeye Chapter Announces New Service
The Ohio Buckeye Chapter is pleased to announce that on January 21, 2010, we will be joining with our National Information Resource Center (IRC) to provide Information & Referral Services. Inquiries regarding information on multiple sclerosis, programs, services and local resources will be directed to the IRC, where they are handled by trained Information & Referral Specialists. Janet Kramer, Chapter President, said "This is an exciting time for the Ohio Buckeye Chapter! The Outreach staff members in our office have worked relentlessly to manage Information & Referral calls, as well as coordinate additional programs and services we offer. This move to the IRC will allow the staff added time for growth in local program and service delivery, while providing continued customer service and accurate information to our clients."
To contact the Information Resource Center, call 1-800-FIGHT-MS (1-800-344-4867) and select option 1, or send an email to generalmailbox@nmss.org.
