About The Installation
One step toward a future where no one is left to suffer in silence.
What is the National Mall Installation?
For far too long, migraine and headache disorders have been dismissed as “just a headache.” But for millions of people—including veterans, children, first responders, women, and urban and rural communities—these disorders are lifelong, disabling diseases.
This Headache on the Hill National Installation is a bold, undeniable statement that we will no longer be ignored.
A large-scale, immersive visual representation of the people affected by migraine and other headache disorders
Voices from real patients, caregivers, and advocates sharing their experiences
A volunteer opportunity on May 31, 2025 to plant these flags and join together with the headache disorders community other headache disorders
A press conference on June 4, 2025, at 10 AM featuring advocates, medical experts, and policymakers

Who We Are
The Headache Alliance
The Headache Alliance and Alliance for Headache Disorders Advocacy are dedicated to advancing policy, research, and awareness for headache and migraine disorders. We work alongside patients, caregivers, clinicians, researchers, other health professionals, and policymakers to break down stigma, improve access to care, and advocate for life-changing treatments.
Through initiatives like Headache on the Hill, the National Mall Installation, our monthly lunch & learn series, and ongoing advocacy and awareness campaigns, we are ensuring that people living with headache disorders have a seat at the table when decisions about healthcare policy, funding, and research are made.
This installation is one step toward a future where no one is left to suffer in silence.
“This installation is more than a display; it’s a movement. Every flag, every voice, every advocate here represents someone who has struggled for too long without the care and recognition they deserve. Together, we are demanding more.”
