MSA Centers of Excellence

Find the best possible and easily accessible multi-disciplinary clinical care near you.

What are the MSA Centers of Excellence?

The goal of the MSA Centers of Excellence program is to provide access to the best possible and easily accessible multi-disciplinary clinical care and supporting services for individuals affected by Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) and their families through a geographically diverse network of local and/or regional clinical centers.

 

In an effort to coordinate care with both clinical and social services, the Centers of Excellence (COEs or Centers) will provide professional and lay education in the areas they serve, will be involved in and inform patients of MSA research, and collaborate with Mission MSA in its efforts to continually improve the lives of those affected by MSA.
