Effective March 30, 2026, OHSU’s Multiple Sclerosis Center (MS) practice will be temporarily closed to new external referrals due to current provider capacity constraints.
The MS practice will continue caring for established patients and will remain open for the following new patients:
- Internal MS Referrals
We will be temporarily closed to all external referrals.
External referring providers may consider alternative community locations. Patients are encouraged to work with their insurance provider to determine the best option to maximize their insurance benefits. Here are some suggestions from the MS clinic:
- General Neurologists in the community (if they haven't seen a neurologist)
- Providence MS providers
- Kaiser has MS providers - if they have the insurance
The practice will re-evaluate capacity on June 30, 2026, and will provide updates regarding reopening to new referrals at that time.
