We invite you to attend the 6th Annual Epilepsy Awareness Day conference held on Saturday, November 7th, at the Columbia University Medical Center. Partnering with local epilepsy centers and other organizations, this conference will provide you with information about epilepsy and the many treatment possibilities that exist and the latest developments in newer treatments, research and the quality of life for persons with epilepsy.

Presentations will include information on new medications, surgery and device therapies as well as women’s health issues, how childhood epilepsies affect behavior in children, and how epilepsy affects mood and memory.
