Our Mission

Our Mission

The Epilepsy Foundation of Texas-Houston/Dallas/Ft.Worth is a not for profit organization that helps individuals and their families living with epilepsy. Epilepsy affects people of all ages, races, and ethnic backgrounds. More than 2.5 million Americans live with epilepsy. Each year, 181,000 Americans will develop seizures and epilepsy for the first time.

Since 1983, the Epilepsy Foundation of Southeast Texas has worked to improve the lives of 100,000 adults and children, with seizure disorders, in 31 counties of southeast Texas. In 2005 the Epilepsy Foundation of Southeast Texas assumed the territory of greater north Texas with 67 counties, to include, 133,000 individuals with seizure disorders. Today we are now known as the Epilepsy Foundation of Texas-Houston/Dallas/Fort Worth.

The Epilepsy Foundation of Texas - Houston/Dallas/Ft. Worth is committed to ensuring that those affected by seizures and epilepsy live life with dignity, equality, and independence.
