The Epilepsy Foundations of Pennsylvania rely on state funding to provide services for you! From first aid training’s in schools and educating Emergency Responder’s to referral services, we are able to help you better because of the support from the state budget. Unfortunately epilepsy services have been cut from the next fiscal budget.
This is where you come in.
Your voice is critical to securing state funding for epilepsy services! Do not rely on your neighbor to speak up; we need your help by expressing your concerns to each of your legislators and Governor Corbett.

Governor Corbett’s budget eliminated all funding for epilepsy services. Governor Corbett, his staff and your legislators need to hear from individuals and families affected by epilepsy that the EFEPA’s services are vital to your family. If the elected officials don’t hear from all of us that epilepsy services are important, there is no chance that the funds will be reinstated.
The Epilepsy Foundations of Pennsylvania are requesting that the state budget reinstate the $550,000 grant within the appropriation of the Pennsylvania Department of Health.
