We were extremely lucky to have students from Case Western Reserve University Medical School come to our office to learn more about epilepsy and the care we provide our clients! Students were able to hear from one of our clients the struggles of living with epilepsy and how best they (as future providers) can interact and help their patients.

Hello you there? 📞 We are lucky to have power at the office but sadly no wifi to help our phones run properly (phone calls are spotty if they can go through). If you are trying to reach an employee we recommend emailing their personal email or email our general address ([email protected]) and your message will be forwarded to the correct person.
