The Chiari & Syringomyelia Foundation, Inc., a 501(c)(3) organization built on leadership, vision and commitment to find a cure for Chiari malformation (CM), syringomyelia (SM) and related disorders, was founded in October 2007.
Many recognized world-class physicians, scientists and professionals agreed to collaborate and form a superior Scientific Education & Advisory Board. The trusted and dedicated members of our Board of Directors and Board of Trustees include community and business leaders, educators, legal experts, families, and patients, who have been advocates in the CM/SM community for years. They have the skills and passion to create, fund, and direct programs and research that will change the lives of the over one million families affected by CM, SM, and related disorders in the United States alone.
