What We Offer Patients
Mission, Vision & Values
Who We Are

The INF is comprised of a team of medical innovators in the field of head, neck, spine and brain surgery and former patients dedicated to using their first hand experience to impact treatment options for new patients.

The combination of practical experience and innovation in medicine is powerful — It translates into improved communication between patients and caregivers. It means that the experience and the voice of the patient is resonating in the medical community.

We believe the combination of strengths of our members will help create new opportunities for treatment and care for patients.

Volunteers

We believe a thriving foundation is based on the ardent and inspired commitment of our volunteers. We are pleased to have many dedicated professionals lending their expertise, ideas and services in pursuit of our mission.

Many of our volunteers are former patients who, inspired by the quality of care and treatment they received, have become instrumental in driving our mission forward for the benefit of patients after them.

They will make a difference here. If you would like to be a part of our growing community of volunteers dedicated to making a difference with patients and care-givers who are in need of support, advocacy, counseling and kindness, we are anxious to speak with you.

Please call us at 212.223.7148.
