The Epilepsy Toronto Board of Directors and staff are thrilled to welcome Dr. Kristin Seaborg, author, advocate and person living with epilepsy, to be our guest speaker at our Annual General Meeting this year.
Dr. Kristin Seaborg is a Pediatric Neurologist and Sleep Medicine Fellow at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She is also a parent, patient, epilepsy advocate and author of The Sacred Disease: My Life with Epilepsy. Kristin went from living in constant fear that her seizures would prevent her from practicing medicine and keeping her condition a closely guarded secret to becoming a strong advocate for epilepsy awareness. By sharing her personal story, she hopes to fight the stigma associated with epilepsy. Although Kristin's knowledge and expertise continue to develop as a pediatric neurologist and mother, her experiences as a vulnerable patient have provided some of her most valuable lessons.
