UPPER NYACK, NY (January 13, 2021) — Global Healthy Living Foundation (GHLF), a patient-centered non-profit organization whose mission is to improve the quality of life for people with chronic illness, today announced that the organization awarded a $10,000.00 grant to Chronic Migraine Awareness, Inc. (CMA), a 501(c)3 organization, to support 2021 programming that will extend their existing ARMS program (Advocates Removing Migraine Stigma) from migraine patients to care partners and create virtual connection events for participants.
“We’re very excited to partner with GHLF to extend the reach of our ARMS program, which is proven to empower people with chronic migraine disease to advocate for themselves and help end migraine stigma through community outreach and education,” said Jeannette Rotondi, LSW, CCTP, Acting Executive Director, Chronic Migraine Awareness, Inc.
