The Headache
Cooperative of New England is a non-profit organization
composed of medical, dental, and allied health professionals
who are interested in the science and practice of headache
medicine. HCNE was established in 1986 as the New England
local affiliate of the American Association for the
Study or Headache (AASH), now the American Headache
Society (AHS). HCNE became independent of the AAHS several
years later and became a non-profit organization in
2002. HCNE has a Board of Directors
composed of leading headache specialists in the
greater New England region.
Our primary activities
consist of producing seminars and courses devoted
to Headache Medicine, including a yearly Headache
Medicine Board Certification Review. The Winter HCNE
Stowe Headache Symposium and the Fall Boston HCNE
Headche Conference have become mainstays of the field
in our region, and attract a national attendance,
in large part because of the national and international
stature of faculty at these meetings (See HCNE
Conferences). A
HCNE-sponsored fellowship in Headache Medicine is
available (See HCNE Fellowship).
HCNE publishes a semiannual
newsletter featuring articles and case discussions.
The most recent newsletters are available in Publications.
HCNE is about to publish the
HCNE Comprehensive Review of Headache Medicine
book, which can be ordered from the Publications page
of this site as soon as it becomes available. Information
for Patients and Professionals
can be found in these pages as well as in our Links
section. We
have a strict policy governing our relationship with
corporate sponsors (see Pharmaceutical
Industry Policy).
Information about
joining HCNE is available in the Membership section.
Bylaws of the
HCNE can be sent electronically to anyone expressing
an interest. HCNE membership meetings are held yearly.
The next membership meeting will be held on March
1, at 7:30 AM in the Topnotch Hotel conference room,
Stowe, Vermont (See HCNE
Conferences).
We welcome comments
