Women & Wellness: Achieving Wellness While Living With MS

Wellness is a dynamic state of physical, emotional, spiritual, and social well-being that can be achieved even in the presence of a chronic illness or disability. Maximizing your potential to live well with multiple sclerosis is possible with important self-care measures and routine concepts that promote independence and healthy living.

To help you stay well with MS, we would like to invite you to join us for an education event that will focus on women’s wellness and MS. We will hear from three speakers who will discuss women’s issues and how they relate to someone who is living with a chronic illness both from a personal perspective and a clinical one.

Dr. Phyllis Hierlihy, medical director of the StrongWomen™ Lifestyle Intervention Program at The Ottawa Hospital will be the keynote speaker.

This session is offered free-of-charge and is being sponsored by an unrestricted education grant from Pfizer Canada and will take place as follows:
