Thriving with Epilepsy
Empowering Change: Kyah’s Journey with Epilepsy and the Power of Advocacy
As someone living with epilepsy, I know firsthand how challenging it can be to navigate not only the medical side of things, but also the social and financial barriers that come with it. But I also know how powerful advocacy can be—not just for yourself, but for an entire community.
Advocacy in Action: EFMN is Elevating Epilepsy as a Public Health Priority in Minnesota
The Epilepsy Foundation of Minnesota (EFMN) has a long and rich history of advocacy. From our early efforts to raise awareness to our impactful policy successes—reducing license suspension time after a seizure, enacting Step Therapy Reform, passing Seizure Smart Schools legislation, and most recently, securing coverage for Seizure Detection Devices
