At Biogen, we are committed to supporting individuals with SMA and their care team. Together in SMA was created with the invaluable partnership of families, caregivers, and individuals living with SMA.
Here you’ll find information about the disease and its symptoms, care options, and insights from experienced members of the SMA community. As a part of Together in SMA, we can help you to understand the current clinical guidelines and available options of care. Consulting with your healthcare provider will help to develop a care plan that works best for you and your family.
We’re grateful for the feedback and involvement of the SMA community. We look forward to continuing to work together in the future to provide a comprehensive resource for those who take on the daily challenges of living with SMA.
