The Institute for Neuro-Immune Medicine is lead by Nancy Klimas. As she explains in the video, this fund is so that they can treat patients who can't afford it otherwise.
https://www.givecampus.com/schools/NovaSoutheasternUniversity/the-inim-grateful-patient-campaignThe Institute for Neuro-Immune Medicine (INIM) provides much needed comprehensive care to patients with complex neuro-inflammatory disorders such as Gulf War Illness and Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS).
According to the CDC, there are currently more than one million Americans who suffer from ME/CFS and global estimates range from 17-24 million people. These numbers do not include the hundreds of thousands of people suffering from this illness without a formal diagnosis.
As the premiere clinical and research based institute, the INIM has catapulted to the forefront of patient care for ME/CFS and other complex illnesses. It is because of this recognition that the INIM receives more than 20 calls a day from individuals begging to be seen in our clinic. Unfortunately, many of these individuals are unable to afford our patient care and cannot receive the care they deserve to live their lives to their fullest potential.
Please consider giving the gift of healthcare to a patient in need and make a true difference in someone’s life.
