Advocacy: State Capitol Day Wrap-Up
Five epilepsy foundations from throughout the state and their clients presented a united front for the third annual State Capitol Day held Wednesday, April 16 starting at the Hyatt on Capitol Square, in downtown Columbus. Working together, the organizations provided advocacy training for all in attendance then accompanied participants across the street to the Ohio Statehouse where they met with senators and representatives to bring front and center the needs and issues facing Ohioans living with epilepsy.
Much of the focus of this year’s State Capitol Day was on House Bill 99/Senate Bill 114—proposed legislation requiring a pharmacist to notify the patient and the physician if the drug dispensed is different in any way than the drug prescribed.
