MAGNUM is proud to add Doctor Mara-Carmen Borrell Wilson to our Board of Directors & Advisors in the capacity of our
Spanish Outreach Medical Advisor. Dr. Wilson brings her outstanding knowledge regarding Migraine as a major public health issue to MAGNUM. In addition, over the next few years MAGNUM wants to effectively reach out to the Hispanic population of the United States, estimated to be 43 million according the U.S. Census Bureau. That is an estimated 5.1 million Hispanic American Migraineurs we hope to better reach. Dr. Wilson will not only be a great asset to help MAGNUM with its mission to educate the national population about Migraine disease, but she also brings her insight as an Hispanic American to help us better reach Americas largest ethnic or race minorityour people of Hispanic origin.

She also serves as the director of the Neurology Pain Medicine Fellowship and the Tampa General Hospital Headache and Pain Center.
