Lunch and Learn
A series of seminars will be conducted for patients, friends and family, by physicians, experts in their fi elds, on the different neurological diseases. New treatments will be discussed as well as new diagnostic techniques. Cutting edge technology will be explored and explained. After each seminar there will be a question and answer session. Information shared at these seminars will enable Long Islanders to make informed decisions about their health care and understand the options that may be available to them in the form of treatment.

Symposia for Physicians
Symposia for Physicians, by physicians will bring together the community of physicians involved with diagnosis and treatment of neurological diseases. At these Symposia, physicians will have an opportunity to share their knowledge with other physicians. No longer will each disease be viewed as a stand alone, but the common thread and possible shared treatments will be discussed.

Annual Neurological Summit
Our annual Neurological Summit, open to the general public as well as physicians and those in the health care industry, will provide updates on current and future trends in diagnosing and treating neurological disorders, as well as report on information obtained at local seminars. Those in attendance will be provided with clinical and quality data needed to identify appropriate operational planning to improve both process and evidence-based care for all patients with neurological disease. Panel discussions and Q & A sessions will provide the opportunity for participants to share researchbased evidence and creative solutions for both clinical care and quality improvement strategies.

Research reports
Research is critical for the development of enhanced procedures to prevent and treat people with complex neurological disorders. A percentage of all monies donated to LMNI will be designated to our research grants. Research reports will be posted on LMNI’s website and in the LMNI newsletter. These reports will provide an overview of what research is being done and what impact it can potentially have on patients.

Website
Our “ask the neurosurgeon” along with “ask the neurologist” columns will respond to requests for information and provide answers to those who cannot physically attend our seminars. (coming soon)
