Epilepsy Alliance Louisiana

Established in 1977, Epilepsy Alliance Louisiana (EAL) was created to offer essential community services to individuals living with epilepsy across the state. EAL was previously an affiliate of a national epilepsy organization; however, in 2018 EAL joined forces with 7 other leading grassroots epilepsy organizations to form Epilepsy Alliance America (EAA). EAA is a growing national organization with 18 like-minded member organizations dedicated to providing direct support to people with epilepsy, and their families, care givers, and communities.

Epilepsy Alliance Louisiana delivers personalized programs and services tailored to the unique needs of individuals affected by epilepsy through:

  • Client Services
