About Epilepsy Association of Western and Central PA

The Epilepsy Association of Western and Central PA (EAWCP) is a private, non-profit service organization providing public education and supportive services to individuals and families affected by epilepsy/seizure disorders. We endeavor to improve the quality of life for persons with epilepsy/seizure disorders, and to dispel the myths, stigma, and misunderstandings associated with epilepsy. With offices in Pittsburgh and Harrisburg and additional staff in Erie, the EAWCP offers its nationally recognized programs and services throughout western and central Pennsylvania. The work of the EAWCP is supported through private donations, a variety of grants, a contract with the Pennsylvania Department of Health, as well as special fundraising events. With support from a volunteer Board of Directors and Professional Advisory Board that provides medical expertise, the EAWCP works to ensure an improved quality of life for those who face the challenges presented by epilepsy or seizure disorders.
