Even after months in a wheelchair with MS, I believed "I would dance again. Fortunately, I wasn't the only one.
Despite years of treatment for Multiple Sclerosis (MS), including five relapses and eight months confined to a wheelchair, Allison refused to give up hope. When the Long Island Chapter of the National MS Society referred her to Winthrop's Chief of Neurology and his highly trained staff at the hospital's nationally recognized MS Treatment Center, Allison learned they're not much for quitting, either.
Knowing that every MS patient responds differently, they kept looking for one more possible solution. Finally, an aggressive course of chemotherapy got Allison back on her feet. After a period of intense rehabilitation, Allison was dancing again. And inspiring other adults with MS and physically challenged children in her own dance school.
At Winthrop, we're committed to a simple truth: Your Health Means Everything. When you are, stories like Allison's are the joyous result. Learn more at winthrop.org. For a physician referral, call 1.866.WINTHROP.
