Advocacy

The Epilepsy Foundation of Northeastern New York has an active grassroots advocacy network where consumers effect change in the social service delivery system at the local, state, and national levels. Development of services are provided by individual advocacy and systems advocacy.

For further information on who represents you, please contact the League of Women Voters.

At the Epilepsy Foundation, we advocate vigorously for people with epilepsy. We believe that having access to medical specialists, the right medications and treatment options makes a tremendous difference in the lives of individuals with epilepsy and their family members. Besides advocating for the best medical care, we offer support in social services, employment, insurance and legal rights.

At the Epilepsy Foundation of Northeastern New York, we believe that by raising the level of awareness and teaching the general public about epilepsy, we can help reduce the fear and stigma associated with the disorder. If you are interested in advocating for epilepsy, contact us at (518) 456-7501.
