The Northern Michigan Community Council of the National MS Society invites you to attend the MS Awareness Series Event on Wednesday, October 14, 2026 from 6:00 – 7:30 PM. The keynote speaker, Dr. Rosemarie Walch, DO, will be discussing “Aging with MS”. Approximately half of all people living with MS are now 50 years of age or older. Dr. Walch will be discussing how the immune system changes, how symptoms progress and how treatments are managed as people with multiple sclerosis age.

We hope you will attend this event in person hosted at the Traverse Area District Library (Main Branch) with check-in and light snacks starting at 5:30 PM (No cost for this event). If you are not able to attend in person, please plan to join us virtually (url: https://www.tadl.org/MSSociety). The program will be recorded for anyone unable to attend and accessible through the Traverse Area District Library’s website.

The Northern Michigan Community Council is excited to increase access and awareness to local and national resources for those living with MS in northern Michigan.
