Midwest Regional Teleconference Series

You don’t have to leave your home to participate in the Gateway Area Chapter’s education programs!

On the second Monday of each month, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society hosts a Midwest Regional Teleconference -- a series brought to you by the Gateway Area Chapter in collaboration with the Society's Greater Illinois, Indiana, Mid-America and Nebraska chapters. These teleconferences via telephone discuss different aspects of living with multiple sclerosis and are presented by a professional expert from one of the participating chapters.

All teleconferences are recorded, and the recordings may be downloaded from the Teleconference Archive of the Gateway Area Chapter. Copies are also available on CD and can be borrowed by calling 1.800.344.4867.
