Mission
The national headache foundation (nhf) aims to create a future where everyone in the world with headache can thrive in optimal, functional and connected lives. Support is aligned to three pillars: (1) resilient and functional living, (2) medical understanding and advancements, (3) community-centered insights and empowered engagement. Nhf's nationwide programs promote greater public awareness, education, and advocacy of headache medicine throughout the continuum of experiences from diagnosis, care, prevention, and treatment. These programs support patients, care partners, healthcare practitioners, payers, and policymakers by integrating various channels like websites, mobile app, social media, email, and in person to create a unified and personalized journey for all they serve.
