HESA - Hashimoto's Encephalopathy/SREAT & Seronegative Autoimmune Encephalitis Alliance

The Hashimoto’s Encephalopathy SREAT Alliance is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization formed in 2012. It is HESA’s mission to collect, archive, and share information regarding Hashimoto’s Encephalopathy (“HE”), a form of Autoimmune Encephalitis (“AE”) with the public and medical professionals. Other names used to describe HE are Nonvasculitic Autoimmune Meningoencephalitis (“NAIM”), and Encephalopathy Associated with Autoimmune Thyroid Disease (“EAATD”). HESA takes no position on the most appropriate name for the disease, however on this website the abbreviation “HE” is generally used as a shorthand way to refer to the condition. HESA has published a book, “Understanding Hashimoto’s Encephalopathy” which is available for sale at Amazon.com. HESA also raises funds to support scientific research, and holds medical symposium with other non profit organizations. HESA’s website provides information and links to a variety of resources for patients, physicians, caregivers, and others interested in this poorly understood disorder. We appreciate your fully tax-deductible donations (see the Donate link above). Please also consider purchasing items from the Shoppe for The Cause store online. Almost all items at the store are donated. All proceeds go to support HESA. Fore more information, please visit our website is http://hesaonline.info.
