Press Release on the Association’s New National Poll of Neuropathy Patients--A new national Neuropathy Association poll of peripheral neuropathy patients finds that the majority of respondents had their neurological disease begin during their prime adult years, with 82% experiencing neuropathy’s onset between the ages of 30-69.

NYC Neuropathy Week Proclamation Breakfast Event--Betsy Gotbaum, public advocate for the city of New York, was joined by patients and Association supporters to proclaim National Neuropathy Week 2009 in New York City during a breakfast event at O’Neals’ Lincoln Center restaurant on May 14.
