RESTORING LIFE TO THOSE WHO PRESERVE LIVES NOVA SOUTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY INSTITUTE FOR NEURO-IMMUNE MEDICINE NSU researchers are on the front lines, addressing health issues that have reached alarming heights since our veterans returned from the Gulf War 29 years ago. Led by Nancy Klimas, M.D., recognized worldwide for her expertise on Gulf War illness and other complex diseases, the institute is bridging the distance between bench-side research and bedside care. There are an overwhelming number of people who need aid. Help NSU solve medically unexplained illnesses and develop cutting-edge treatments by pledging your support at nova.edu/give/nim . “I was doing very well throughout my career. But when I came back from the Gulf, one of the first things that I picked up on was this horrible chronic fatigue. I couldn’t explain it. …I was told that it is in my head.” —Jimmy Arocho, U.S. Army (Retired) nova.edu/nim | (954) 262-2850
