Juneteenth is a time to reflect on freedom, resilience, and the ongoing fight for equity — including in healthcare.

For many Black individuals living with migraine and headache disease, disparities in diagnosis, treatment, pain management, and access to specialized care remain a serious issue. Studies have shown that Black patients are less likely to receive an accurate migraine diagnosis and appropriate treatment, despite experiencing migraine at similar rates. Too often, pain is dismissed, symptoms are minimized, and barriers to quality healthcare persist.

Migraine does not discriminate — but access to care often does.

This Juneteenth, we recognize the importance of advocacy, education, representation, and equitable healthcare for all people living with migraine and headache disease. Raising awareness means acknowledging these disparities and working toward a future where everyone is heard, believed, and treated with compassion and respect.

Health equity matters. Every voice matters. Every story matters. 💜

Many veterans return home carrying invisible wounds that others may never see. For countless service members, migraine and headache disease become part of daily life after service — impacting work, family, mental health, and overall quality of life.

Triggers like stress, sleep disruption, injuries, environmental exposures, and trauma can all contribute to neurological conditions such as migraine. Yet too many veterans continue to suffer in silence because these diseases are often misunderstood or minimized.

During Migraine and Headache Awareness Month, we honor the strength and resilience of veterans living with migraine and headache disease. Your pain is real. Your experiences matter. And you deserve compassionate care, support, and understanding.

To every veteran navigating life with migraine: thank you for your service, your courage, and your perseverance through the hardest days. 💜

Today we recognize Hemiplegic Migraine Awareness Day. 💜

Hemiplegic migraine is a rare and complex type of migraine that can cause temporary weakness, paralysis-like symptoms, speech difficulties, visual changes, dizziness, and more. These symptoms are neurological and can often be misunderstood or mistaken for other serious conditions.

Today we raise awareness, support those living with hemiplegic migraine, and continue fighting stigma through education, advocacy, and community.

You are seen. You are heard. You are not alone. 💜

We’re pleased to share the latest op-ed, “The Women’s Health Conversation Still Has a Migraine-Sized Gap,” by Julienne Verdi published in Managed Healthcare Executive.

Migraine is a major women’s health issue, yet too many people still face delays in diagnosis, barriers to care, and limited access to treatment.

By improving research, expanding screening, reducing insurance hurdles, and supporting the bipartisan HEADACHE Act, we can create a better future for those living with migraine.

Women are disproportionately affected by migraine, and people with migraine can lose the ability to consistently participate in work, school and daily life.
