It Helps To Know The Experts
Our Medical Advisory Board has set standards for what they consider to be excellent medical centers for the diagnosis and treatment of GBS and CIDP. Based on levels of expertise, available treatments, facilities, and research capabilities, these are the medical centers that we can unequivocally recommend as “Centers of Excellence.”
If you feel your medical facility meets these standards, and are interested in becoming one of our Centers of Excellence, please contact us. We’ll pass the information along to our Medical Advisory Board members to process for consideration.
