Rochester, NY – January 29, 2021 – Epilepsy-Pralid, Inc. announced today the launch of its new name, logo, and website. The organization’s name changes to Empowering People’s Independence (EPI), expressing the agency’s deep commitment to providing innovative and individualized services to support the aspirations and needs of people with brain injury, developmental disabilities, and epilepsy.

We have expanded our services. More importantly, we have invested in innovative service models that offer individuals with disabilities and their families more flexibility and more choices to access the services they need to improve their health, wellbeing, independence, and social inclusion.
