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 .
