The future of neurology is bright, with every day bringing a new fundamental discovery, or innovative treatment for neurological disease.  But we face daunting challenges in providing affordable access to care for our large and diverse population, renewing our focus on preventative care, and finding treatments for some of the most feared medical disorders. As we work to face these challenges with optimistic vigor, our focus remains on the patients and communities we serve, and our students and trainees, who are our future.
