Drawing a Distinction Between Health & Disease

All of The Heuga Center's programs are based on the philosophy that you can have a chronic condition AND have your health.

By drawing on a wide range of medical professionals and focusing on all aspects of health - exercise, nutrition, social support and disease management - The Heuga Center helps people with MS learn how to live healthier, happier, more active lives.

Personal attention is the key to the success of The Heuga Center's programs. All our staff members have experience in working with people with MS. They take the time to listen, answer questions and provide individual recommendations.

PROGRAMS & SERVICES

CAN DO Program: Using a multidisciplinary team of nationally recognized professionals, this intensive five-day program provides a comprehensive education about MS - its effects, treatment options and lifestyle adaptations. During this program, participants develop a personalized "lifestyle prescription" designed just for them. In addition, sessions for significant others provide education and support for partners, parents and friends. The CAN DO Program has a staff to participant ratio of 2:1.

CAN DO2: A follow up program for CAN DO graduates, this two-day medical program is designed to refresh and re-motivate past participants.

One-Day Programs: Using the wellness model of its other programs, The Heuga Center has begun to offer a series of one-day seminars for people with MS. Although topics vary, all one-day programs carry the Center's message of making the most of your abilities.

Clinical services: With an on-site physical therapy clinic, The Heuga Center provides individual consultations and fitness training for people with MS and other chronic conditions.
