About Us
Epilepsy Ontario (EO) is a registered charitable non-profit non-governmental health organization dedicated to promoting independence and optimal quality of life for children and adults living with seizure disorders, by promoting information, awareness, support services, advocacy, education and research.
Through a network of local agencies, contacts and associates, Epilepsy Ontario provides client services, counselling, information and referral services, education and advocacy services for children and adults living with seizure disorders, and for their families, friends, co-workers and caregivers.
EO offers long-term programmes to raise standards of care and support medical research into seizure disorders. We hope to improve public awareness and education through the Provincial Resource Centre, publications, this web site, conferences, and outreach programs.
Epilepsy Ontario was duly incorporated under the statutes of the Province of Ontario, Canada, as a non-profit organization in Ontario in 1956.
