We recently have been contacted regarding "Project Access", a federally funded project aimed at improving access to care for children with epilepsy. Through this project, an intern at the University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities of Children's Hospital Los Angeles has developed a very informative and valuable epilepsy parent guide.  A free downloadable version of this guide can be found on their website here. We thank them for sharing this resourceful information!

Thank you Dover Fluid Management for a wonderful Community Care Day!

The Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Cincinnati is pleased to announce a new fundraiser in affiliation with our national office called “Talk About It! @ Dinner.” This new initiative debuted with a short video on www.talkaboutit.org with actor, Greg Grunberg, TV star from the show Hero’s. TalkAboutIt.org is a new star-studded web site created “to educate the world about seizures and epilepsy on behalf of the 50 million people around the globe, who are coping with the condition”, including his oldest son. The goal of the event is to raise awareness and money for the Epilepsy Foundation and our mission of epilepsy through hosting “at-home” parties. This event is both a valuable fundraiser and public awareness campaign all wrapped into one event. All money raised will stay locally in our community. If you would like to be included in this exciting program please contact our office at (513) 721-2905.

Great things are happening!
