As students settle into the fall semester, I've been reflecting on how much ground HarborPath has covered on college campuses in the past year, especially across the SEC. Within the last 12 months, HarborPath has supplied naloxone to four SEC universities and several other colleges throughout the South. What started as a student-athlete awareness campaign at Ole Miss has grown into a network of campus partnerships built on one simple idea: get lifesaving medication into the hands of the people who need it, right when and where they need it.

For too many families, the first time they hear the word SUDEP is after they have lost someone to it. This summer, three states took real steps to change that. In Virginia, the Commonwealth's newly signed biennium budget includes funding in each of the next two years for the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner to produce full, written findings in any death consistent with Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy. The budget requires those cases to be referred to an institution that can help grieving families submit their loved one's medical history to the North American SUDEP Registry, and it directs the office to publish SUDEP resources on its website. Every case reported to the registry sharpens researchers' understanding of who is at risk and why. Virginia has now created a clear path to that knowledge.

Brenna Brossard was 25 years old, healthy, and active when she died in her sleep during a seizure in 2022. By that point, her family had spent over two dozen years inside the epilepsy care system. They first navigated it for Brenna's brother Nicholas, and later for Brenna herself. Across dozens of appointments with neurologists and specialists, no one ever said the word SUDEP. They learned the term by chance, a week after Brenna's funeral.

This month, Oklahoma took a meaningful step forward in the fight against the fentanyl crisis. Senate Bill 65, which HarborPath was proud to support, was signed into law, clearing the way for any person, school, university, business, or community organization in Oklahoma to legally possess, distribute, and administer naloxone and other emergency opioid antagonists.

HarborPath's mission has always been to serve unmet needs — and the people who carry that mission forward are often the ones who have seen those needs up close. Kennedy Clarke is one of those people.

HarborPath is excited to share a meaningful new collaboration with Canine Assistants, an organization doing remarkable work training service dogs for individuals with epilepsy. We're beginning work with an ambassador golden retriever named KJ, who was born in July and is just starting a roughly two-year training journey with Jennifer Arnold, executive director of Canine Assistants, and her team. The goal is for KJ to eventually work with children and serve as a HarborPath ambassador to help raise awareness, understanding, and advocacy around epilepsy and seizure disorders.

As we begin 2026, I’m encouraged by the momentum building around HarborPath’s mission and by opportunities ahead of us to serve unmet needs. Legislative sessions are now underway in some states and approaching in others, creating a critical window to advance policies that protect patients and save lives. Through the HarborPath Policy Council, we are engaging in target states to advocate for practical solutions that expand access to care, improve health education and reduce preventable deaths.

For University of Oklahoma defensive lineman Danny Okoye, his current spot – as the face of a social media campaign seeking to spread awareness of a life-saving drug for those who have overdosed on opioids – was a case of fortuitous timing.
