Epilepsy Foundation Central & South Texas

Epilepsy Foundation Central & South Texas The Epilepsy Foundation leads the fight to stop seizures, find cures and save lives. Epilepsy affects all aspects of a person’s life.

Since EFCST was founded in 1993, thousands of people with epilepsy and their families have received information and/or have benefited from the comprehensive medical, educational, and social services offered by EFCST. Learning to cope with and manage epilepsy takes a coordinated effort by family, friends, teachers, and managers in the workplace. All of the Foundation’s programs are designed to help

people reach their full potential and enhance their sense of self worth. EFCST provides a wide variety of services to persons with epilepsy, their families, and the community. 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. For more information about all the programs and services of EFCST, explore our site at www.efcst.org or contact us at (210) 653-5353. Find out how you can make a difference. Epilepsy can affect Any One, Any Time, at Any Age. Join the Epilepsy Foundation Central & South Texas at an upcoming event to raise awareness, honor friends – family –and our community by bringing epilepsy out of the shadows.
