Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centers (CMSC)

The Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centers (CMSC) wanted to create a program to provide individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS) with hope and empowerment through objective, credible information sequenced progressively to match their educational needs throughout the first stages of diagnosis. The “Essential Elements” program was themed to reflect four areas where the newly diagnosed need information. Represented by the symbols of the elements earth, water, wind, and fire, the series encompassed step-wise information about the condition, the treatment, what professional services are available, and other educational support.
