Message from John England, MD AUPN President
On behalf of the AUPN, I wish to express my deepest concerns and sympathies to everyone who has been affected by Hurricanes Helene and Milton. The southeastern United States has been in the direct path of very destructive storms this hurricane season. Many fellow members of AUPN and their families, friends, and neighbors have been directly impacted by these hurricanes. Please reach out to those who may have been in the path of these storms. And, please give to the charitable organizations who are helping those who have endured so much destruction.
A few new notices are highlighted below.

Instructions for adding individuals to your institution’s profile can be found on the member welcome page after logging into your AUPN account. If you need assistance, please contact neuro@aupn.org.
