Congratulations to Dr. Okun on His Recent JAMA Viewpoint Publication
We are proud to congratulate Dr. Michael S. Okun on the publication of his new JAMA Viewpoint article, “Preventive Neurology Isn’t a Pill; It’s a Plan.” In this timely and forward-thinking piece, Dr. Okun challenges the traditional notion that prevention in neurology begins and ends with medication. Instead, he highlights a comprehensive, personalized approach—one that integrates lifestyle, environment, genetics, technology, and community support to reduce risk and improve long-term neurological health.
Dr. Okun and his fellow co writer’s perspective underscores the importance of empowering individuals and health systems to adopt proactive strategies that go far beyond prescriptions. Their message is clear: the future of brain health depends on coordinated planning, early intervention, and the everyday choices that shape neurological resilience.
