The way forward

A key strength of The Way Forward is the commitment of all partners to work together to improve access to services and strengthen community supports. [...] The Way Forward is a collaboration of the Government of Alberta, Alberta Health Services (AHS), the MS Society of Canada (Alberta and Northwest Territories) and other community partners. [...] It signifies a commitment by all agencies to expand knowledge of MS and to identify ways of addressing the broad range of issues related to this disease. [...] Support options for people to receive services closer to home, including expansion of access to multidisciplinary care through the use of technology, and other methods to reduce the need to travel. [...] For the purposes of this strategy, the team extends beyond clinical interventions to include the broader community and supports from the MS Society of Canada, as well as social sector supports for housing, income and equipment.
