We still have a long way to go, but this is a huge success along the journey!

Exciting news! The Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee passed the National Plan for Epilepsy Act (S. 494) during yesterday’s markup. Read the Senate Epilepsy Caucus Co-Chairs' press release here: https://ow.ly/je4J50ZrYhx. This was a crucial step, and we want to thank YOU for your advocacy! Now, the bill must continue to make its way through the full Senate and House. Link in the comments for how you can continue to help:
