The primary goals of the campaign are to:• Generate awareness that migraine is a serious neurological disease.• Empower patients with migraine to seek treatment and locate appropriate medical care.• Provide patient education and support through the American Migraine Foundation’s website and social
channels to activate a community of patients to take action.
