Alaska
Local program partner to the Epilepsy Foundation Northwest, the Stone Soup Group in Anchorage and EFNW have developed programs to provide information, community trainings, awareness and advocacy on behalf of epilepsy in Alaska.
EFNW and SSG, along with the Project Access Epilepsy Alaska program, are planning a “Women in Epilepsy” conference to be held in the summer of 2010. EFNW and SSG also plan to develop a Northwest Run/Walk for Epilepsy in Anchorage and Juneau in June of 2010.
