Clinic Day for muscular dystrophy

GREEN BAY - When you live with a disease like muscular dystrophy every day can bring new challenge.

Patients in Northeast Wisconsin have a place to go for regular check-ups on certain days. It's called Clinic Day. One of the doctors in the area who helps care for patients is Dr. Terence Edgar with Prevea Clinic in Green Bay.

Edgar says a team of medical professionals come together to bring different skills directly to the patients.

They monitor everything from heart to lungs, all the way to the patients body functions.

Edgar says treatment has come a long way in the last ten years.

So the advances we have now, now we don't just look at can we cure - but how can we make your heart function the best and so there is a multitude of different strategies that we use, said Dr. Edgar.

MDA raises money to support treatment and research to find cures for some 40 neuromuscular diseases.

Be sure to join us for the MDA Show of Strength on Sunday night from 7 until 10.
