Nash, MD, FAHA, CPI. The Foundation was created in September 2010 and is dedicated to encouraging and opening the availability of neurological research by supporting clinical research, public outreach and education focused on neurological diseases. The goal of the foundation is to raise funds to enhance neurological research, start new medical research sites, train new research employees, encourag
e hospital research, and supplement existing research sites in Georgia and the Southeastern States. Failure to support research will put people at risk and damage patient care of the future. The timeframe to conduct research and achieve approval from the FDA is a lengthy process which sometimes takes as long as 10 years, and is relatively slow compared to the progression of the disease itself. Our foundation proposes to speed up the process by finding quality treatments for these diseases by allowing sites to participate in many neurological trials to include Stroke and Alzheimer’s disease that are currently financially out of reach. Stroke, Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease are some of the devastating diseases that strike patients in the prime of their life and cause great family and societal burdens. Dr. Nash is committed to research that will “pursue the disease and not the medication”. His goal is not to pursue medications that are already available, but to find new treatments options that will improve the patient’s life and disease.
