Programs described in its return (3)
- $197,709 spent. AHDA implemented Flags for Headache, a large-scale public awareness installation in Washington, DC designed to visually represent the prevalence and burden of migraine and other headache disorders in the United States. The installation educated policymakers, Congressional staff, advocates, and the public, and helped raise awareness of headache disorders as serious neurological conditions that are often invisible and misunderstood.
- $49,063 spent. AHDA conducted its annual Headache on the Hill (HOH) advocacy and education program, training more than 400 advocates living with migraine and other headache disorders, as well as caregivers and clinicians. The program focused on educating participants on federal health policy, access to care issues, and effective patient advocacy. As part of this work, AHDA drafted and circulated a national sign-on letter to the Make America Healthy Again Commission highlighting migraine and headache disorders as chronic health conditions impacting children and families.
- $3,128 spent. AHDA participated in and helped organize three Congressional briefings to educate Members of Congress and Congressional staff on issues impacting people living with migraine and other headache disorders, including access to care, insurance barriers, and the need for continued research investment.
