The impact of a brain injury is often life-changing for survivors, their families, and caregivers.
EPI offers Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Waiver and Nursing Home Transition and Diversion (NHTD) Waiver services. These Medicaid programs provide individuals with a TBI the support they need to live in their community.
EPI offers counseling, training, and tailored programs for adults with brain injuries. EPI was one of the first agencies in New York to provide specialized Traumatic Brain Injury. We serve people with all types of acquired brain injuries, including stroke. Building on our expertise, EPI developed innovative and highly personalized services to assist people with their recoveries.

Epilepsy Services
Epilepsy strikes most often among the very young and the very old, although anyone can develop epilepsy at any age. In the U.S., it affects 2.2 million people including 300,000 children under the age of 15. While medications and other treatments help, about half of those affected, will have seizures that severely limit school achievements, employment prospects and participation in life.
If you or a loved one has epilepsy, EPI can help. We have more than 40 years of experience supporting people with epilepsy and their families with epilepsy-specific programs.
