Epilepsy Alliance Florida is dedicated to supporting those impacted by epilepsy by confronting the spectrum of challenges created by seizures. Established in 1971 as a not-for-profit 501(c)(3), Epilepsy Alliance Florida is the principal agency for epilepsy programs and services sponsored by the State of Florida, servicing over half a million Floridians who live with the condition. For most of our history we were known as Epilepsy Foundation of Florida but in July 2018 we formally changed our name as we co –founded Epilepsy Alliance America, a nation-wide network of community-based epilepsy organizations. Epilepsy Alliance Florida also serves as the lead advocate for the rights and needs of people with epilepsy and seizures at the local, county, state and national level.
