A small local pharmaceutical foundation makes a large global impact
By Julie Duffin
It’s hard to fathom a world where treatments for people with epilepsy are unavailable—places where the social stigma of the disease is so strong that people are shunned, and even killed, for having a seizure. Those places do, unfortunately, exist
OUR MISSION
The Epilepsy Foundation North/Central Illinois leads the fight to stop seizures, find a cure and overcome the challenges created by epilepsy.
