Livingston, NJ— The Multiple Sclerosis Center at Barnabas Health Ambulatory Care Center will host an education program about Injection Site Reactions for those with Multiple Sclerosis on Monday, October 24, from 12 to 1 p.m. at the Ambulatory Care Center, located at 200 South Orange Ave. in Livingston.

This program is part of the MS Lunch Time Lecture Series and will feature Brian Machler, MD, who will speak about these reactions and how to lessen the risk of them.
Dr. Machler is the Co-Chief of the Division of Dermatology at Saint Barnabas Medical Center. He graduated from Fairfield University and UMDNJ - New Jersey Medical School, and was an intern at Yale - New Haven Hospital and a resident at University of Miami - Jackson Memorial Hospital.
