WHO WE ARE
The Brain Aneurysm Foundation is the globally recognized leader in brain aneurysm awareness, education, support, advocacy, and research funding.
The Brain Aneurysm Foundation was established in 1994 by a renowned Boston neurosurgeon and neurosurgical nurse practitioner who recognized unmet needs among their patients and families as well as a perilous lack of awareness about brain aneurysms among the public and the medical community. Over the ensuing 23 years, the nonprofit Brain Aneurysm Foundation has grown to become the globally recognized leader in brain aneurysm awareness, education, support, advocacy, and research funding.
Guided by a Medical Advisory Board of internationally respected brain aneurysm specialists affiliated with the world’ s leading medical centers, and with grassroots support from legions of survivors and families across North America, the Brain Aneurysm Foundation has an audacious, but achievable, goal— a world without death or disability from brain aneurysms.
To achieve this goal, we:
• Promote the early detection of brain aneurysms— which saves lives— by providing information and raising awareness of the symptoms and risk factors.
• Collaborate with medical communities throughout North America to provide vitally important support networks for patients and families.
• Advance research aimed at saving lives and improving patients’ treatments and outcomes.
• Advocate at the national level for increased federal spending on brain aneurysm research and the interests of patients and families.
