We are so grateful for our members! Whether they’ve recently joined us or have been part of our community for years, members play a significant role in helping the ANA continue as the premier resource for acoustic neuroma patients. Membership today helps patients in the days, weeks, months, and years to come.

For Brain Tumor Awareness Month, the ANA is providing an opportunity for everyone to experience a handful of the benefits usually reserved for our members. Throughout May, we’ll make available a selection of member resources, including webinars, Notes newsletter articles, our Q&A video library, informational booklets, and our peer mentor program.

Q&A with Providers:

The ANA has a growing library of videos featuring medical experts answering common questions regarding AN.
The Q&A Video Library is a member benefit and today we're sharing one of those videos with you all. Thank you to
our partners at Mayo Clinic for answering the question, "I have a small tumor. If I choose radiation
over surgery, do I have a better chance of retaining my hearing?"
 

 

Along with the benefits of membership, we’ll also be sharing why membership is important. Please take a moment to print, fill out the ‘Why I’m an ANA Member…’ prompt below, snap a picture, and send it to us through communications@anausa.org. We're excited to share these personal messages here and on our social media throughout the month.
