Our Mission

About Epilepsy Foundation Of Utah
Founded in 2011, the Epilepsy Alliance of Utah provided programs and services for people impacted by epilepsy. In April 2016, the Alliance became a Chapter of the national Epilepsy Foundation. The Epilepsy Foundation of Utah joins a strong national network and an organization that is the leading patient advocacy organization for people with epilepsy.
At the Epilepsy Foundation, one of our primary goals is to provide accessible, current information about epilepsy/seizure disorders to individuals with epilepsy, parents, family members and friends. We also provide information about epilepsy to professionals in the community through our in-service training programs. Our professionally trained staff is available to answer questions about epilepsy and its related concerns.
