WHAT DO WE DO?
EDUCATE AND INFORM
“The Brain Aneurysm
Foundation website is
an invaluable place for
patients and families
to learn about brain
aneurysms, treatment
options, resources, and
what to expect .”

We provide up-to-date, accurate information about brain aneurysms,
treatment options, and recovery to patients and families, healthcare
professionals, and the general public. Whatever the question or
concern, people throughout the world turn to the Brain Aneurysm
Foundation for reliable answers and information.
We maintain a large, comprehensive online and print library of
educational materials, which was created in collaboration with
our Medical Advisory Board and hospital partners. This library is
continually updated as new information becomes available.
Our library includes a wealth of information in a range of formats:
fact sheets on all aspects of brain aneurysms, webinars hosted
by leading brain aneurysm experts, informative videos, listings of
resources, book recommendations, articles, brain aneurysm research
papers, and much more.
Our popular booklets, “Detection and Treatments” and “Treatment
Recovery Guide,” are available in four languages. We also created a
DVD, “Life or Death: Early Detection of Brain Aneurysms,” to educate
emergency responders and other healthcare professionals.
Through our active presence on Facebook, Twitter, and other social
media, we also educate the general public about brain aneurysms,
with the goal of raising awareness of the symptoms and risk factors,
and to help generate support for federal policies and funding that
will benefit those affected by brain aneurysms. Our recent “#1 in
50” campaign and our ongoing efforts on Capitol Hill to establish
September as National Brain Aneurysm Awareness Month are just
two examples of the steps we are taking to bring attention to this
serious health issue.
