NEPA Next ● Epilepsy Community Space
NEPA Next ● Epilepsy Community Space
From Dreams to Reality
The EFEPA's Northeast Resource Coordinator, Mary Loughlin, has always dreamed of having a dedicated space for Epilepsy Warriors right in Wilkes-Barre, PA. Then, earlier this year, our friend, volunteer and epilepsy advocate, Sally Smith, came to the Foundation with a passionate vision and proposal: an epilepsy community center to gather, connect and call our own.
We knew now was the time to take the next steps. It takes one champion in our community, like Sally, to step forward and help us turn dreams into reality. Between Sally's vision and our teamwork we are ready and excited to increase our reach, programs and services in the NEPA community!
You can be part of the legacy! Pick up Mary & Sally's baton by supporting our efforts with a gift or becoming a NEPA Next Ambassador. Join today and help build tomorrow.

Join the Epilepsy Foundation Eastern PA (EFEPA) and our local epilepsy community as we work to establish an epilepsy community space right here in our backyard!
The space will be an EFEPA community center where we can gather, meet, connect and volunteer in Wilkes-Barre, PA.
Epilepsy can affect anyone, at any point in life, with no regards to gender, ethnicity or race.
Everyone deserves to feel worthy and included. Everyone deserves a sense of community. Everyone deserves a safe space. Help us better reach, serve and connect the NEPA epilepsy community with a gathering space of our own.
