MDHHS Director, Robert Gordon said, \u201cthis new funding opportunity provides greater access to comprehensive services for children, youth and their families living with epilepsy.\u201d The four-year grant will provide $416,000 annually to the program.  Currently, in Michigan, 13,000 children up to 17 years old have active epilepsy, and approximately 25 percent of Michigan\u2019s youth population resides in rural areas. Children in rural and underserved areas often have less access to pediatricians, pediatric subspecialists and coordinated care. MDHHS believes that by increasing access to care, the funding will help positively impact the overall health and well-being of children with epilepsy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Children in Michigan who have epilepsy and are in rural or underserved areas will be getting some help through funding.
