In support of our mission, the National Headache Foundation looks to achieve these key goals:
Increase public awareness regarding headache disorders and the impact it has on the individual, their families, and society.
Represent people living with headache disorders in efforts with the public, insurance providers, and governmental agencies.
Serve as the premiere resource by providing information to patients, health care professionals, and the media.
Support research into the potential causes of headache disorders and treatments.
For over 50 years, our mission at the National Headache Foundation has been to further awareness of headache and migraine as legitimate neurological diseases. With aid from advanced technology and clinical innovation, there are more care and treatment options than ever before.
NHF understands that these diseases are still largely misunderstood, underdiagnosed, and undertreated. Additionally, the personal and societal burdens of pain, disability, diminished quality of life and financial cost is under-recognized. We are honored to have you on this journey, as there is so much we can do together.
NHF continuously collects the latest comprehensive information on headache disorders and migraine disease, which we make freely available to you.
Every day, our health care provider finder connects patients, who have just begun to seek treatment or those who are looking for more options.
NHF is committed to building the bridges needed to ensure that everyone affected by headache and migraine are able to fully engage and thrive in their best lives.
Please join the National Headache Foundation in cultivating connections and partnerships that inspire action and instill hope.
