CNS Balloon Day: Making the Connection
CNS Balloon Day is about making advocacy local and personal—one balloon, one connection at a time.


Yesterday, I visited the office of Assemblymember Dawn Addis with another constituent, hubby Steve, who documented the visit (photos).
We met with Assemblymember Addis’ field representative, Nicole Holguin, who was receptive, attentive, and genuinely interested in the advocacy issues CNS brought forward. Our messages included epilepsy transportation, CTE education, and building healthier, transit-connected California communities.
Most encouragingly, Ms. Holguin planned to bring these issues forward at their staff meeting later that day.
This is what Balloon Day is meant to do: open the door, start the conversation, and establish CNS as a resource for California policymakers on issues affecting brain health and our patients.
Pass the balloon!
Happy CNS Balloon Day
Sincerely,
Stella B. Legarda, MD
