Winston-Salem, 09 February 2012: The Epilepsy Institute of North Carolina (EINC) announced today that Mariel Hemingway will speak at Old Town Country Club on Thursday, March 29, 2012 for Epilepsy Awareness Day ‘Purple Day’. Ms. Hemingway, an Academy Award Nominee, author, businesswoman, adventurer and healthy living advocate is also the granddaughter of illustrious author, Ernest Hemingway.
EINC is committed to providing highly individualized medical, social, psychological and educational services to patients with epilepsy and other neurological and behavioral disorders. As an independent nonprofit corporation, EINC is dedicated to enriching the quality of life for our patients and to providing unlimited access to the diagnoses, treatment and ongoing support necessary to live their lives in the least restrictive setting possible.
Ms. Hemingway, a long-time advocate of holistic health and wellbeing, has a lifetime of experience with epilepsy due to the diagnosis received by her sister, Margeaux, when she was a teenager. Mariel is the mother of two daughters, and is a nationally acclaimed speaker on topics of behavioral health conditions, environmentalism and humanitarian concerns.
Dr. J. Christine Dean, Medical Director of the Epilepsy Institute of North Carolina, is pleased to partner with such a noteworthy advocate. "So often, the treatment of patients can be compromised by lack of both attention and information. Patients at EINC rely not only on medical treatment, but on a caregiver or an advocate to enhance and to manage their care. Ms. Hemingway, and her lifetime of experience with epilepsy and behavioral health concerns is a perfect complement to the mission and the vision of EINC. We are honored to have her name associated with that of epilepsy and of EINC."
As a result of the collaboration of Dr. Dean and Ms. Hemingway, a luncheon will take place on Thursday, March 29, 2012 beginning at 1:00PM at Old Town Country Club in Winston-Salem. Only $25 and it is tax deductible. For ticket information, please contact Rick Aaron at 336-659-8202, extension 133 or at
