Virtual Library of the
Brain Aneurysm Foundation Webinars Educational Booklets
Available in Three Languages
The Brain Aneurysm Foundation live webinars have used the power of the
Internet to create a webinar forum where patients can reach experts to discuss
important details of their care, and most importantly, have the ability to ask
questions while they are at home, at no cost. The BAF webinars have been very
successful in reaching the above mentioned goals to satisfy the mission of the
Brain Aneurysm Foundation. Dr. Aaron Cohen-Gadol, an aneurysm surgeon
and a member of the BAF Medical Advisory Board, has been moderating these
webinars. We continue to receive very positive feedback from our members who
attend these webinars from all over the world. These webinars are archived and
are available for viewing shortly after the presentation of the live webinar on the
BAF website. Over 25,000 educational pamphlets for brain aneurysm treatment options
and recovery were distributed across the country and internationally, to
medical facilities treating brain aneurysms, as well as our 64 support groups.
The booklets are available in English, Spanish and Chinese. The Chinese
translation was provided by: Qiyong Mei, MD of Shanghai and proofing by Rose
Du, MD, PhD. The Brain Aneurysm Foundation would like to thank Mizuho for
providing the funding for the production of our rebranded and updated patient
educational booklets.
