JoshProvides Receives Grant to Expand Epilepsy Care Services

A grant of $10,000 awarded by the Community Foundation of Sarasota County will assist JoshProvides Epilepsy Assistance Foundation in the funding of transportation to diagnostic testing and out-of-pocket expenses associated with testing, lifesaving seizure alert devices, and access to twice-monthly virtual support groups to keep participants connected to each other and to share resources.

Funding for this program is provided by the James Franklin Warnell & Dorothy J. Warnell Fund and the George and Marian Hyde Charitable Fund at the Community Foundation of Sarasota County.
