Brain Health Fair

The 2013 Brain Health Fair, presented by the American Brain Foundation, took place March 16 at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront Hotel in San Diego, CA.

The Brain Health Fair is a FREE, daylong family event connecting thousands of patients, families, and caregivers affected by a brain disease, as well as the general public interested in brain health. Participants can attend classes and activities on Alzheimer's disease, stroke, Parkinson's disease, autism, brain injury, epilepsy, headache, multiple sclerosis, sleep disorders and other types of brain disease.

Each year the Brain Health Fair is scheduled during the opening day of the American Academy of Neurology's Annual Meeting, which brings over 12,000 neurologists and health care professionals into a participating U.S. city. The 2014 Annual Meeting will be held in Philadelphia, PA.

The American Brain Foundation, the foundation of the American Academy of Neurology, is an independent 501(c)(3) organization that funds the most crucial research to cure brain disease, such as Alzheimer's disease, stroke, Parkinson's disease, autism, and epilepsy. Brain disease affects more than 50 million people in the United States alone. In moving toward its vision, the American Brain Foundation's goal is to reduce the prevalence of brain disease 50 percent by 2040.
