The Laurel Highlands Multiple Sclerosis Support Group (LHMSSG) is a nonprofit support and social group for those afflicted with MS, their families and friends. Founded in 1988 by Dr. Lysle Stein DC, a Chiropractor with MS , the LHMSSG provides its members with a vast array of services.

The primary feature of our group is peer support and counseling, however, the LHMSSG also deals with quality of life issues and other concerns of the handicapped. Our monthly discussions cover a wide range of topics including insurance, sexual issues, social security, changes in the law, job placement, discrimination, medical treatments, Medicare, pharmaceuticals and the like.

Anyone suffering from a disabling illness is welcome and encouraged to attend our monthly meetings the 2nd Thursday of each month on the 2nd floor of the Ligonier Town Hall in Ligonier, PA at 7:00 PM. The building is located on the corner of W. Main St and Route 711 and is handicapped accessible. The Laurel Highlands Multiple Sclerosis Support Group is run by its members and we do not charge any membership fees or dues. All services provided by the LHMSSG are free of charge.

Partially funded by The Multiple Sclerosis Service Society of Pittsburgh and the MS Association of America, the LHMSSG also relies on private contributions and seasonal fund raisers.

If you or someone close to you has recently been given a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, you probably have a lot of questions and concerns. Or, you may be feeling so overwhelmed by the diagnosis that you aren’t sure what kinds of questions to ask. The Laurel Highlands Multiple Sclerosis Support Group can give you the information and support you need to live comfortably and confidently with this change in your life.
