Epilepsy touches the lives of almost 85,000 Virginians.  The Epilepsy Foundation of Virginia (“EFVA”) leads the fight to overcome the challenges of living with epilepsy and to accelerate therapies to stop seizures, find cures, and save lives.

The foundation was established in 1978 to promote awareness about epilepsy and provide assistance to those with the disorder.
