At its Nov. 4 meeting the Tinley Park Village Board adopted a proclamation designating November 2025 as Epilepsy Awareness Month.
The proclamation adopted by the board summarized seizure first aid—stay calm, protect the person’s head, turn them onto their side and clear the area of hazards—and said the effort aims to improve lives through education, advocacy, research and connection. The board’s text cited prevalence estimates (about 3.4 million people in the United States and about 140,000 people in Illinois) and called for increased public knowledge of seizure first aid.
The clerk called the roll and trustees voted to adopt the proclamation. The board signed the document, which was dated in November 2025 and signed by Village President Michael W. Glotz and Village Clerk Nancy M. O'Connor.
