About
Established in 1948
If you’re not already a part of the Epilepsy Foundation of Michigan, we encourage you to join us in our fight. Together, we can stop seizures, find a cure, and overcome challenges created by epilepsy.
The Epilepsy Foundation of Michigan is a group of dedicated staff members and volunteers working to improve the lives of people with epilepsy and those who care for them. As an affiliate of the national office of the Epilepsy Foundation, we are responsible for the entire state of Michigan. Our programs and services empower people with epilepsy to live productive lives by providing information and guidance on epilepsy self-management and promoting awareness of the condition among professionals and the public.
The Epilepsy Foundation of Michigan strives to do more with less. Our ever-growing base of volunteers and collaborative partners makes this possible. Camp counselors, conference presenters, event volunteers, clerical volunteers, donors, Professional Advisory Committee members, Board members, and countless others support our staff in achieving the Foundation’s mission.
