关于我们
For 50 years, the Epilepsy Foundation Eastern PA (EFEPA) has provided support services, education, and advocacy for 15,000 people annually with epilepsy/seizure disorder and their families. The EFEPA is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) voluntary health agency whose mission it is to stop seizures and SUDEP (Sudden Unexplained Death in Epilepsy), find a cure and overcome the challenges created by epilepsy through efforts including education, advocacy and research to accelerate ideas into therapies. Our primary areas of service include Philadelphia, Allentown, Wilkes-Barre, Scranton, and Lancaster. The combined population of our territory is over 6 million. The Center for Disease Control states that at least 1.65% of the population has epilepsy/seizure disorders. Thus, in the 18 counties we serve, 110,000 people have epilepsy. However, many more are significantly impacted by epilepsy in their daily lives when you include family members, caregivers, and friends in the total. All of the Counties we serve: Berks, Bucks, Carbon, Chester, Delaware, Lackawanna, Lancaster, Lehigh, Luzerne, Monroe, Montgomery, Northampton, Philadelphia, Pike, Schuylkill, Susquehanna, Wayne and Wyoming. Key programs include but are not limited to Community Education & Outreach, Epilepsy Educational Conferences & Workshops, Seizure Trainings and Recognition Programs, Legal & Medical Referrals, Children & Family Services, Adult Resource Services, Young Adult Initiative and Camp Achieve.
