Services include information and referral, service coordination, counseling, support groups, first aid training, education in schools, and training for first responders and the business community.
“For the past twenty-one years the Epilepsy Foundation Golf Tournament has been one of the premier golf tournaments in our area” stated Jeannine Garab, Executive Director, “We are so thankful to all of our sponsors and participants over the years as all of the money raised supports programs for people living with epilepsy in our community. We always promise a great day of Fall golf and this year will be no exception.”
