NMSIS Membership and Donations

To assist clinicians and advance consensus and understanding of NMS, serotonin syndrome, malignant catatonia, and other heat-related illnesses, the Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome Information Service (NMSIS) was founded in 1997 by the Malignant Hyperthermia Association of the United States (MHAUS) in collaboration with a group of prominent experts with extensive experience in treating NMS. MHAUS expanded into this area due to its mission to become a world-wide source for clinical expertise in heat-related disorders.

NMSIS is a not-for-profit organization governed by a volunteer Professional Advisory Council (PAC). NMSIS is a unit of MHAUS under IRS Code 501(c)(3).  It operates solely on contributed funds.  All contributions are tax deductible.

NMSIS offers educational materials, conducts educational programs and supports an emergency hotline to help medical professionals during an emergency.  The database is used to conduct research into the epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment of NMS and heat-related illnesses.  The NMSIS Web site was developed to present up-to-date educational information to medical professionals, patients and family care providers.

Your contribution to NMSIS helps provide these on-going services and is greatly appreciated!

If you wish to make your non-member NMSIS donation in Memory of, or in Honor of, a loved one, please provide the information at the end of the order form in "Special Instructions."
