The Epilepsy Association 2015 Annual Report

We had a hand in spreading epilepsy awareness.

2014

Dear Friends,The 2015 year was memorable as we focused on finding new ways of communication, reaching out to new donors, creating new ways of fundraising and further developing our services to meet the needs of individuals who are managing epilepsy.

In 2015, the Epilepsy Association was able to achieve a remarkable reach! During the year, we expanded our online presence through social media, discovered many new supporters by reaching new audiences, and continued the development of our support groups and seminar series program which all led to the agency having a memorable year. Through the continued integration of social media and the agency blog, the Kids and Family Program, Parent Support group, and new Adult Networking Group, we were able to serve more families, field more information and referral calls, provide more direct service and social service treatment while reaching community members through our educational programs. Overall we’ve reached nearly 15,000 in our community which is a 10% increase from the prior year!

Our 2015-2017 Strategic Plan was finalized and implemented in ‘15 to define the focus and direction of the agency which includes a new mission statement, purpose statement and plan to move the agency forward while meeting the needs of the community. The focus of the agency was defined in three major areas: provide relevant services to those children, adults, and families affected by epilepsy; raise awareness of epilepsy and EA’s services; and raise funds to support agency services.

Raising awareness, raising funds, and building community is not an easy task to accomplish. Our dedicated and loyal volunteers embraced this task and through on-going efforts to help people with seizure disorders; the Association was able to continue the growth of agency programs. The Agency would not be where it is today without our Board Members and the epilepsy community assisting the agency and each other. And, because of this, the Epilepsy Association continues to extend its presence and establish itself as the local resource for those living with seizure disorders in Northeast Ohio.

Finally, in 2015 we have witnessed numerous clients and families exhibit tremendous courage and perseverance in dealing with what epilepsy has brought to them. We look forward to more years of service in the community as our job is far from complete. I congratulate you for helping to grow service for the epilepsy community here in Northeast Ohio! Your efforts have broadened our reach and increased awareness of epilepsy.

Thank you for your continued support of the agency. We look forward to the next chapter and another successful year!

Regards,

Peter A. Nelson Kelley S. Needham

Our MissionMission: For children, adults and families in Northeast Ohio impacted by epilepsy we will raise awareness in the community, provide education, advocacy and direct services that lead to an increased understanding of the disorder and to better management of the condition, resilience, personal fulfillment, independence and the ability to contribute meaningfully to the community.

Our PurposePurpose Statement: We believe education and awareness are imperative to treatment, acceptance, equitable division of resources and the inherent right of every individual impacted by epilepsy to lead a happy, healthy and productive life.

The Epilepsy Association is not affiliated with any national organizations. The agency is a designated 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation. As a cost savings measure, the Epilepsy Association shares its office space with the Kidney Foundation of Ohio. All funds raised by the Association stay here in Northeast Ohio proving service in 11 counties which include: Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Lorain and Parts of Ashland, Ashtabula, Erie, Huron, Medina, Richland, and Trumbull.


About the Epilepsy AssociationThe Association was started in the mid-1950s by parents of children with epilepsy, under the name Parents Crusade Against Epilepsy. It later became

the Committee of Epilepsy of the Family Health Association. In 1972, the Committee on Epilepsy

became an independent agency supported by funding from the Cuyahoga County United Way Services.

The agency is licensed by the Ohio Department of Mental Health, is a funded agency of United Way Services, and

is accredited by the Commission of Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). CARF is an

international, independent, nonprofit accreditor of human service providers, and CARF-accredited

service providers meet the highest national and international standards of quality.

The agency has held this CARF distinction for 28 years.

The staff of 8 professionals, along with many volunteers, provide the numerous

services of the Epilepsy Association.
