Jackie from Yonkers is the definition of resilience. Diagnosed with epilepsy at 13 after a car accident caused head trauma, she's now 34 years old, and has faced serious challenges — including spinal surgery in 2022 after a seizure-related fall. With support from her care team at Westchester Medical Center, including Manisha Holmes, MD, Jackie is thriving today. 💜 Her advice: 👉 “Be your own advocate. Believe you can be okay.” 👉 “Know the signs and triggers of seizures.” 👉 “If someone’s having a seizure, turn them on their side and call 911. Stay with them.” Struggling with seizures or epilepsy care? Our comprehensive epilepsy center offers advanced diagnostics and personalized treatment. Need to find a doctor who treats epilepsy?
