ST. PAUL, Minn. -

Neurology Now®, the free patient and caregiver magazine of the American Academy of Neurology, is the recipient of the 2008 Excellence Award in Public Service from the Midwest Society of Association Executives. The award recognizes associations that have achieved outstanding results operating or supporting a program for the benefit of the community or society. Neurology Now, published by AAN Press, is distributed to nearly 500,000 patients and their caregivers, with some 300,000 magazines delivered directly to the offices of neurologists. It is the only consumer magazine in the country devoted to the management of neurologic disorders. The magazine offers information on treatment and cutting-edge research for a wide range of neurologic disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy, migraine, Parkinson’s disease and more. “One of the most exciting aspects of the magazine is that it promotes a sense of community amongst patients, caregivers and neurologists, who share stories and information within its pages,” says Robin Brey, MD, Editor-in-Chief of Neurology Now and Fellow of the American Academy of Neurology. “We are thrilled and honored to accept this commendation.” The award will be presented at the MSAE EXPO luncheon on May 22, 2008, at the RiverCentre in St. Paul, Minnesota.
