Original Mission Statement

Our nonprofit mission is to provide, promote, and improve communication opportunities and tools for people who are personally affected by or who professionally treat or study localized neurological disorders and subsequent or related health care concerns.

Note: The organization will initially focus on intracranial tumors and space occupying lesions, and will progress to address other neurological conditions such as acquired brain injury, hydrocephalus, dystonia etc. as soon as feasible.

T.H.E. BRAIN TRUST Vision is threefold

1. The communication vehicles created , supported, offered or endorsed by T.H.E. BRAIN TRUST are intended to enable , encourage and empower local and international exchange among Survivors, their families and supporters, health professionals and researchers.
2. The group experience will become a new type of health resource -- a collected wisdom -- which should be conveyed to the broader health care community and the public in order to foster acceptance, understanding and aid for persons coping with neurological abnormalities and to increase public awareness of and to further develop innovative resources for anyone needing them.
3. T.H.E. BRAIN TRUST seeks to emphasize how health care and the human spirit unite towards achieving healing and well being. We seek to recognize participants in the health care process as patients/survivors/families/consumers and providers/professionals/caregivers but most importantly seek to unite these groups by embracing the humanity of all.
