Nonprofit Overview
Mission: The epilepsy foundation of central ohio is a private, non-profit social service organization providing services to people with epilepsy/seizure disorder, their families and caregivers as well as providing public education. Our mission is to enhance the quality of life for those affected by epilepsy and to increase the understanding of epilepsy in central ohio.
Programs: Program service accomplishment - community educationepilepsy is a highly misunderstood disorder within our community. The general public, including educators, school nurses, police officers, and business professionals, do not have an understanding of what epilepsy is and how it is best treated. The epilepsy foundation of central ohio is committed to dispelling the myths that surround epilepsy and removing the walls that keep those with the disorder felling isolated. Education is key, and we offer a variety of programs, designed to help the general public understand what epilepsy is and is not; how to recognize the characteristics of seizure activity; how to respond to and assist a person who is experiencing a seizure by giving appropriate first aid; and the impact seizures have on a person academically, socially and emotionally.
