EHE International Donates Window Display to National Headache Foundation in order to Spread the Word at Rockefeller Center

CHICAGO, July 1, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The vision statement of the National Headache Foundation (NHF) is A World Without Headache. It is estimated that 1,000,000,000 people in the world suffer from migraines. The global burden of headache is extremely large, putting headache among the top 10 causes of disability worldwide.

The NHF is most appreciative of the generous donation of EHE International by providing window space at 10 Rockefeller Center for the month of July, thus offering the opportunity for the NHF to raise awareness of the disabling condition of chronic headache, including migraine. Over 36 million American experience migraine headaches – that is 12 percent of the population. The annual direct and indirect economic costs in the U.S., of all headache disorders, exceeds $31 billion.  "EHE International is proud to support the National Headache Foundation to raise awareness," said Deborah McKeever, President of EHE International.  "This donation can help this organization advocate an important cause and can alleviate a worldwide issue."

The window display will alert passersby, that through education, research, and advocacy, the NHF is striving to create "A World Without Headache." "If in any way, your headaches are changing your normal lifestyle – including work or school, social life, or everyday activities, then you should seek help from a physician interested in headache medicine," said Seymour Diamond, M.D., Executive Chairman and Founder of the NHF. Dr. Diamond noted "The NHF can assist you in finding a health care practitioner in your area by visiting our website, www.headaches.org, and click the link to "Physician Finder."
