Welcome to the Commonwealth Neurological Society!
We are all very pleased about the revitalization of our Society and the excitement it is generating across the Commonwealth. Our goal is to develop a vital and growing network of neurologists and associated professionals across the Commonwealth that will benefit our practices and our patients. To that end, we are actively seeking Board Members from representative geographical areas across the Commonwealth. Let us know if you are interested or would like to nominate an individual.
Our most recent meeting took place October 4, 2008 in Lexington. There were many members that made the trip to participate and hear updates on current topics in neurology including MS, stroke, epilepsy and AEDs, and our AAN sponsored speaker on billing and collecting for services.
As always, spread the word! If there's anyone you know that would like to be added to the listserv, would like more information, would like to assist with the annual meeting, or if there are any other questions or suggestions, feel free to email me at dbfee2@email.uky.edu
Again, welcome!

TheBrainMatters.org Informs Patients,
Caregivers on Neurologic Disorders
TheBrainMatters.org, the AAN
Foundation’s redesigned patient and caregiver website, now features in-depth,
easily searchable information on a host of disease states from NINDS, including
such supporting materials as AAN patient guideline summaries, patient stories
from Neurology Now®, and AAN Press Books, and a video on Parkinson’s disease.
Users can get tips on how to prepare for an office visit, contact information
for voluntary health agencies, and information on the importance of research
and how to support the future of neurology.
Visitors to the site are encouraged to participate in the Buy a Brain
fundraising campaign at www.TheBrainMatters.org/buyabrain. For each $5 brain
purchase, you will receive a “virtual brain” icon that will appear on the site,
displaying your name and the name of someone you choose to honor. One hundred
percent of the proceeds go to support research into neurologic disorders.
