The Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Cincinnati was founded in 1953 and is the sole health and social service agency in the area to provide unique and innovative services to people with epilepsy. When the agency first started, many people with epilepsy were often restricted from taking part in life experiences because of the negative stigma associated with the disorder. The Epilepsy Foundation responded over the years to provide services and programs that help the individual reach beyond their seizures. A gift from Pfau Foundation will support the Counseling Program.
