We recognized the 21st Annual MS Center Gala benefiting the Corinne Goldsmith Dickinson Center for Multiple Sclerosis and Mount Sinai on Wednesday, March 8, 2023 at The Plaza Hotel. It was wonderful to come together for the first time since 2020 as a community supporting the Center’s mission to help make a positive change in the lives of those we serve.
We are honored to recognize Maria and Gaetano Muzio as this year’s Clifford H. Goldsmith Award Recipients for their longstanding commitment to championing the Center’s work in treating patients with diseases that affect the central nervous system beyond MS. Thanks to Maria and Gaetano’s vision, our Center has become a leader in the study and treatment of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody associated disease (MOGAD), autoimmune encephalitis, and neurosarcoidosis. Though rarer than multiple sclerosis, NMOSD and MOGAD can be just as disabling as MS and often affect our patients from underrepresented groups that are disproportionately affected by lack of access to quality medical care, leading to poorer outcomes.
The annual gala remains critical to our ongoing efforts to fund comprehensive and imaginative care for all who walk through our doors at the CGD Center. To make a contribution to the Corinne Goldsmith Dickinson Center for Multiple Sclerosis, please click here.
