In late October, the Rocky Mountain MS Center hosted the 2014 Education Summit in Golden, Colorado. Over 300 people attended from throughout the region to learn about topics including the Epidemiology of MS, Symptoms of MS, Maximizing Brain Health, and Disease Modifying Therapies. Participants joined discussions with the leading minds in the care and treatment of multiple sclerosis. The Summit also featured nine breakout sessions that covered topics on as depression, exercise, clinical trials, MRIs, cognition, diagnosis, Social Security Disability Insurance, pediatric MS, and fatigue.
