ABOUT EPILEPSY COALITION OF NYS
Janice Gay founded the Epilepsy Coalition of NYS in 1999. The purpose of this coalition was to provide advocacy on a statewide level and collaborate across the state to educate, reduce stigma and ensure all those in need of Epilepsy supports are served. The member agencies provide an array of services that include Epilepsy education and seizure first aid training across the state.
