About us
EPIC Long Island has served the Long Island community for 60 years, beginning as a small agency dedicated to helping families affected by epilepsy. Through the years, our services have expanded to meet the evolving needs of our communities and we currently provide services to hundreds of individuals with developmental disabilities, mental health challenges and epilepsy. EPIC Long Island’s wide range of services for adults with developmental disabilities includes: 18 residential facilities throughout Nassau and Suffolk counties; a weekday program for Day Habilitation and Saturday respite program; and community habilitation; and specialty developmental disabilities clinics. Our mental health clinics provide therapeutic services to children and adults for challenges that range from temporary, short-term issues to severe psychiatric disorders. EPIC Long Island is a unique resource for our Long Island community as a provider of training, education and support programs related to epilepsy. Our knowledgeable staff will train and provide informational materials at no cost to teachers, healthcare professionals, and community groups. We offer tailored educational programs for students from elementary through high school that demonstrate what epilepsy is, what it isn’t and how to administer first-aid someone having a seizure.

We also honor the First Responders for their service, their heroism, and their sacrifice. Our thoughts are with everyone grieving today. 💙 #NeverForgotten #September11th

Leaders and supporters of major Long Island nonprofit agencies gathered at the Suffolk County Legislature this week to oppose a bill limiting executive pay for nonprofits contracted with the county. The nonprofits leaders, including Lisa Burch, CEO/President of the EPIC Family of Human Service Agencies, joined more than two dozen people to voice their opposition in a public meeting, expressing concerns about the potential negative impact on nonprofits collaborating with Suffolk County. The bill also requires nonprofits to disclose all gifts and donations, as well as a list of their donors. The legislature voted to recess the hearing, with another vote to go before the Budget and Finance Committee later this month.

Despite facing bullying and doubt due to her seizures, Anna turned her struggles into strength. Now, she uplifts others as a Community Outreach Specialist for Epilepsy Foundation of Wisconsin, offering inspiration and solidarity on their epilepsy journey. Tune in to hear how Anna flipped the script, owned her epilepsy, and became a beacon of hope (and hilarity). #EpilepsyAwareness #Inspiration
