About Us
Our Beginning
The Center for Neurosciences Foundation is the brainchild of several Neurologists, Neurosurgeons, and Pediatric Neurologists from the Center for Neurosciences. We created this non-profit foundation in 2010 to support research and education in the neurosciences and to raise awareness of diseases of the nervous system. Our mission includes engaging people in learning about development and lifelong care of the brain and nervous system.
Our Vision
Everyone will have the tools to attain an optimally developed and functioning brain and nervous system, to the peak of their potential, for the full extent of their lifetime. This starts right here in Southern Arizona.
Our Mission
Universal access to information about the many things that affect the brain and nervous system, e.g. prenatal care, early nurturing, nutrition, physical activity, literacy and education, creative pursuits, and environmental and community well-being.
