Multiple Sclerosis Centers of Excellence

Multiple Sclerosis Centers of Excellence Network Facilities

The Multiple Sclerosis Centers of Excellence (MSCoE) are committed to ensuring access to VA MS health care services. To help in this process, a national network of MS care has been created. This network consists of the MSCoE East and West Coordinating Centers and the MS Regional and MS Support Programs.

MSCoE Coordinating Centers

There are two Coordinating Centers, MSCoE-East in Baltimore, MD and MSCoE-West, jointly located in Seattle, WA and Portland, OR. The Coordinating Centers create national standards of MS care and collaborate with MS Regional and MS Support Programs across the U.S. The Centers are available for consultation with VA health care providers for Veterans receiving their MS care within the VA.

MS Regional Programs

The MS Regional Programs provide MS specialty care with a continuum of acute, chronic, and long-term care services consistent with Veterans Health Administration policies. The Director of the MS Regional Program has specific training or extensive experience in MS management. There will be a minimum of one MS Regional Program in each Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN).

MS Support Programs

A VA facility caring for Veterans with MS, and not designated as an MS Regional Program. The MS Care Liaison for the MS Support Program, which can be a Director or Coordinator, will have knowledge on MS management and will collaborate with MS Regional Programs for MS care as needed.
