Who We Are
The mission of the Epilepsy Foundation is to lead the fight to overcome the challenges of living with epilepsy and to accelerate therapies to stop seizures, find cures, and save lives. The Epilepsy Foundation Central & South Texas (EFCST) was founded in 1993 to improve the quality of life of nearly 160,000 persons with epilepsy residing in 79 Central and South Texas counties. We strive to put an end to the myths and misunderstandings about epilepsy while helping individuals with epilepsy live a full and meaningful life.
What We Do
The Epilepsy Foundation Central & South Texas seeks to improve the quality of life for people with epilepsy through seizure clinics, emergency medical assistance, support groups, counseling, youth programs, HOBSCOTCH memory program, education & training, and providing helmets and scholarships. Additionally, we provide community events across Central & South Texas. such as our Walks to END Epilepsy by raising awareness for the 1 in 26 who have epilepsy.
