Sask. MS care connects with patients wherever they are
Meet the nurses supporting patients with MS
Behind every Multiple sclerosis (MS) diagnosis is a person and a team that’s with them every step of the way.
May 30 is World MS Day. MS is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system. More than 3,000 people in Saskatchewan live with MS. Because MS affects each person differently, care must be tailored to individual needs.
At the MS Clinics in Saskatoon and Regina, nurses strive to be accessible and responsive, recognizing that patients often have questions or concerns that require timely support. They regularly connect with patients by phone or email to provide guidance between appointments, ensuring care is always available.
“At the MS Clinic, we get to be there for your journey all the way along.” said Candace Lahoda, a Registered Nurse at the clinic in Saskatoon City Hospital. “Getting to build those relationships and maintain that support to continue to help people manage and thrive in the community after leaving the MS Clinic is very rewarding part of my job.”
MS Clinic nurses support Saskatchewan patients in many ways, including medication management, coordinating testing, helping manage symptoms, and connecting patients to resources that support daily living. Their goal is to help patients navigate life with MS with confidence, knowledge, and ongoing support.
