The 4th Annual Pain Awareness Night at the Park with the Arizona Diamondbacks and Power of Pain Foundation is a yearly event which brings together the pain community with the public. This year we are also teaming up with the American Academy of Pain Management to provide a special experience for AAPM conference attendees. This will be a night out with other healthcare professionals to make connections in a social setting, eat dinner, and have a great time, the evening before classes start. Resources are distributed to attendees on the main concourse, an on field presentation, and PSA take place to celebrate National Pain Awareness Month. Help us Strike Our Chronic Pain by spreading awareness about Neuropathy conditions that affect so many people on a daily basis.
