OUR STORY
Mutual Respect & Trust
eSupport Health was born in the laboratory of neuropsychologist Victoria Leavitt, PhD, at Columbia University in 2017, after she noticed many of her patients with multiple sclerosis saying the same thing: “I feel like no one really understands what I’m going through.” Dr. Leavitt had access to a group of people who understood quite a bit about what they were going through: other patients with MS.
This motivated her to create eSupport, a place for people with MS to come together face-to-face and share experiences in a safe, moderated environment via secure online video. The internet is a vast territory of unknown spaces that can be difficult to navigate. At eSupport Health, we provide professionally moderated groups for people living with MS because coming together in a place governed by mutual respect and trust allows all of us to be the best version of ourselves.
