ABOUT US
Bridging Education, Transportation, and Medical Advocacy for MS Care
Martin M.S. Alliance Foundation is dedicated to advancing equity, awareness, and advocacy for individuals living with Multiple Sclerosis—particularly within communities of color. Our work is grounded in three core pillars: education, transportation access, and medical advocacy, ensuring individuals and families have the knowledge, support, and access they need to navigate life with MS.
Through community-centered programs and systems-level initiatives, including our Anti-Ableism and Anti-Racism Research and Policy Center, we address the structural barriers that impact health outcomes and quality of life. With a special focus on individuals who are newly diagnosed, we support the transition to a new normal by connecting communities to trusted resources, advocacy, and pathways to care.
