About
The Northern Health Regional MS Clinic provides specialized services to clients who are either diagnosed or suspected of having Multiple Sclerosis, Neuroptica-Myelitis (NMO) or MOG-Antibody disease (MOG/MOGAD). We serve clients who live in the Northern Health region and also some northern parts of the Interior Health region.
The clinic has approximately 700 patients. We are serviced by a multi-disciplinary team comprised of 5 MS Neurologists (1 from Prince George and 4 visiting specialists from UBC), a nurse consultant, rehabilitative staff (physiotherapist and occupational therapist) and a social worker.
We are located in Prince George and usually do one outreach clinic in Fort St John and Terrace every year.

Call 250-565-2304 as soon as possible if you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment. Please give us at least 24 hours notice if you are unable to attend your appointment. This lets us give the appointment time to another patient who needs it.

We will do our best to reschedule your appointment as soon as possible, however there may be a wait due to the volume of patients we have. Please make every effort to keep the appointment that is booked for you.
