KINGSTON, Pa. — It's something this organization has been working toward for years.
The Epilepsy Foundation of Eastern Pennsylvania held a ribbon cutting on Saturday to mark the official opening of the Michael P. Loughlin Epilepsy Community and Resource Center along Wyoming Avenue in Kingston.
Michael lost his battle with epilepsy in 2022. His wife and mother are behind the center that will provide education and other resources for those living with epilepsy and their families.
"This is for everyone living with epilepsy, their family, their friends, their community members, we want this to be a home for everyone, we want this to be a place where you feel empowered and feel less alone," said Rena Loughlin, Epilepsy Foundation of Eastern PA.
"This been a long time coming, it was a labor of love, we did a lot of work to get here the way it looks now, and we're thrilled, and we hope that today is just the beginning, that people will see we're here," said Mary Loughlin, Epilepsy Foundation of Eastern PA.
There will also be social events and support groups at the community and resource center in Luzerne County.
