I am a newly hired employee for the Epilepsy Services Foundation, and I am so grateful to work for an organization that is committed to carrying out their mission to serve the community. Our organization provides invaluable services, resources, and referrals for our community members impacted by epilepsy and seizure disorders. What I love most about the team and organization is the sense of community that is both rare and essential for nonprofit organizations who provide direct services and support.
The Epilepsy Services Foundation offers a wealth of resources that cater to every need. Whether you’re seeking educational training and materials, support groups, or practical tools for managing epilepsy in daily life, we are here to support you through this journey.
What truly sets the organization apart is our unwavering advocacy for those affected by epilepsy and seizure disorders. We work tirelessly to raise awareness, influence policy, and create a more inclusive society for individuals living with these disorders.
We are a small but mighty staff. Our Executive Director and Board Members are genuinely compassionate and knowledgeable about epilepsy and seizure disorders and lead with a vision and mission to advance causes surrounding these disorders. Since I joined the organization in August, the team has been supportive in lending a listening ear and offering me guidance tailored to each unique situation I encounter as the new Program Coordinator.
I wholeheartedly recommend the Epilepsy Services Foundation not because I am now employed for the organization but because I believe in the work we do for our community.
Words cannot describe the amount of ACTION that this foundation has taken to drastically improve the lives of those impacted by Epilepsy. It is truly one thing to talk the talk... but this organization does more.
Individuals, families, children, adults... anyone who has epilepsy on their mind... is at the center of everything that the Epilepsy Services Foundation does. They support by providing education about the disease, networking events that allow for friendships to be made, nights out promoting fun and bonding, holiday gatherings, hospital visits... and the easiest thing... is a smiling face that understands what you're going through. This foundation gives people an opportunity to share trials and triumphs, ask questions that receive answers, and be a part of an irreplaceable community.
Thank you for being so selfless in your everyday actions.
I have personally seen the amazing work of ESF in action over the last 8 years in the greater Tampa Bay Area. This organization is solid. Whether it is holding counseling sessions for teenagers challenged with seizures, running successful fundraisers to send kids to camp, or working with local providers counseling and supporting families affected by Epilepsy, this organization is stellar. On many occasions I have referred friends and family to ESF for support and the feedback I have recieved has always been one of gratitude and true appreciation. I have attended several of ESF’s community events where several area Neurologists and Epilepstologists have also attended - which is huge- as physicians see the true benefit and positive influence this organization has on patients and families challenged with Epilespy. To have practitioners take time out of their extremely busy schedules to attend these meetings - really says a lot for this orangization. It is with the highest regard that I fully endorse this non-profit organization, Epilepsy Services Foundation, Inc. - Laura Howard- Neurology “Epilepsy” Representative in the pharmaceutical industry.
This organization has been the grass roots foundation for the greater Tampa Bay area for many years. They have keep the light on for many of our people stricken with epilepsy, as a guild post for both information and outreach. Tom all to well understands the complex implications of both health and social economic struggles that this group of people contend with on a daily basis.

The ESF has a genuine focus of serving patients and families in the community. I have a personal friend who's daughter has been able to attend Camp Boggy Creek and it has been a blessing to her and the family. This organization offers resources and events that are greatly needed and make an impact for many people. The ESF is a place where many can go to find help, encouragement and a sense of community.
I have worked with ESF since 2012 as hospital liaison between families with children who are diagnosed with epilepsy and volunteer/mentors who represent the HOPE program. I have attended educational in service programs and social activities as well, and continue to be impressed with the community outreach ESF provides. It continues to be a privilege and a pleasure to work with this great organization.
This is one of the finest groups of people that I have worked with...the passion to help others is paralleled by none. By treating patients with epilepsy, I came to see more activity and assistance for those in need than any other support agency I know. The grass-roots approach of caring, and the cost-effectiveness with the case-management program should be a model applied on a large-scale to PWE to help advance our current outcomes based goals. It is a pleasure and privilege to have worked with this great team of dedicated professionals.
