We're into the final few days of National Family Caregivers Month, and my guest on the podcast is Scott Williams, Vice President, Head of Global Patient Advocacy and Strategic Partnerships at EMD Serono. We're talking with Scott about EMD Serono's commitment to MS caregivers. We're also talking about creating a caregiver protocol that becomes part of the conversation in the neurologist's office as soon as someone is newly diagnosed with MS. We'll tell you about the FDA's new warning about stopping Gilenya. We'll share news about two different clinical trials that are exploring two different cell therapies for treating progressive MS. And we'll share some amazing statistics that demonstrate the reach and effectiveness of the National MS Society's MS Navigator program, a remarkable one-on-one MS support program.
