“It is indeed an honor to maintain accreditation for our level 3 epilepsy monitoring unit. This designation signifies the highest level of care for our epilepsy patients as well as support for their caregivers,” said Samrina Hanif, M.D., medical director for the CHH Epilepsy and Seizure Center, Marshall Health neurologist and an associate professor at the Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine. “This is a team effort by our nurses, EEG technicians, neurology residents, observers and physicians to provide the critical and timely care needed by the epilepsy patients in our region.”

NAEC was founded in 1987 by physicians committed to setting a national agenda for quality epilepsy care. NAEC is a non-profit association with a membership of more than 260 specialized epilepsy centers in the United States.
