The document discusses plans to create a specialized adult day service program for people with multiple sclerosis (MS) at BHC in Duluth, Minnesota. Key points include: conducting research on best practices by visiting other MS programs; determining there is interest and need in the Duluth community; ensuring it aligns with BHC's mission and would be financially sustainable; and partnering with the MS Society to help launch and promote the new program. The goal is to open the Duluth MS Achievement Center in June 2012, providing services on Saturdays to improve participants' mobility, independence and quality of life.
