Today is Epilepsy Awareness Day, a time to increase understanding of a condition that affects people of all ages. Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that causes recurring seizures, which can vary widely in how they look and how often they occur. With proper diagnosis, treatment, and support, many people with epilepsy live full, active lives. Raising awareness helps reduce stigma, encourages timely care, and supports individuals and families navigating this condition every day. For more information on Valley Health's comprehensive epilepsy program, visit valleyhealthlink.com/epilepsy.

The Virginia Comprehensive Epilepsy Program at Valley Health provides patients with the care and treatment they need to manage and prevent seizures.
