Caregivers raise more than $1,000 for multiple sclerosis awareness
June 2026
Our Neuroscience Institute team in Portland came together this spring to support people living with multiple sclerosis (MS) — raising awareness and funds for those affected.
Uniting for a shared purpose
On May 16, caregivers from our Neuroscience Institute’s multiple sclerosis team joined the Portland Walk MS, a community-wide effort dedicated to advancing research, treatment and support for individuals living with multiple sclerosis.
Led by Kyle Smoot, M.D., a neurologist and associate medical director at the Providence Multiple Sclerosis Center, the team walked alongside others impacted by the condition, demonstrating a shared commitment to improving lives both inside and beyond the clinical setting.
Extending care beyond the hospital
More than 20 caregivers and their families participated, coming together to raise over $1,000 in support of programs, research and resources for those navigating multiple sclerosis.
Their efforts reflect our Mission: To meet people where they are, offering compassion, seamless access and personalized support at every stage of their care.
