Epilepsy Foundation of Hawaii

About Me

Aloha and welcome to the Epilepsy Foundation of Hawaii's page!
The Epilepsy Foundation of Hawaii (EFH) provides direct services to individuals with seizure disorders. It is estimated that over 18,000 Hawaii residents suffer from epilepsy and over 75,000 people are touched by it. For over 35 years, EFH has provided information and educational services to individuals and groups with questions pertaining to epilepsy.
The EFH is a private, 501(c)3 nonprofit agency, whose mission is to increase public awareness of epilepsy and to build a sense of community, enabling persons with epilepsy to participate fully in the community at large.

Our Community Partners include:

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

An AUW Partner Agency

Celebs who are joining the fight to help end the stigma associated with epilepsy. I'd also like to meet anyone who wants to learn more about this illness.
