Epilepsy affects 3 million Americans and 50 million people worldwide, but the lives of family members, friends and co-workers are also deeply affected. The goal of the Epilepsy Foundation of Alabama is to help you understand more about the neurological disorder and to share with you the new treatments available while providing programs and services to the public. We offer services for families, schools, employers and public health workers that engage and educate individuals in order to raise awareness and reduce the stigmas and myths associated with seizures and epilepsy.
So Join Us and Let’s Talk About It.
