At Trinity Health Of New England, we offer specialized care for multiple sclerosis (MS) through the Joyce D. and Andrew J. Mandell Center for Comprehensive Multiple Sclerosis Care and Neuroscience Research.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a lifelong disease that affects the central nervous system, primarily the brain and spinal cord. While there is no cure for MS, the right care can help you successfully manage your symptoms.
Our dedicated team at the Joyce D. and Andrew J. Mandell Center for Comprehensive Multiple Sclerosis Care and Neuroscience Research provides the focused care and supportive services you need to live your best life.
“I had my first appointment within 36 hours of my first call, and I was instantly comfortable once I met the providers who would be caring for me. I didn’t know what to expect when I first came to the MS Center, but Dr. Elhusseiny put me at ease right away.” - Jenny Trosky, Mandell MS Center patient

Mandell MS Center: Built on Generosity
The Mandell MS Center is named after Joyce and Andy Mandell, whose leadership and contributions were instrumental in establishing the center. The Mandells, who are residents of West Hartford, established the Joyce D. and Andrew J. Mandell Family Foundation in 1984 after winning a local charity raffle.
Since then, their philanthropy has touched many institutions, including Babson College, the Boys and Girls Club of Hartford, the Hartford Arts Council, the Mandell Jewish Community Center and the National MS Society.
Thanks to Joyce and Andy Mandell’s foresight and vision, Trinity Health Of New England continues to provide comprehensive MS care and leading-edge MS research.
