ABOUT US

​

Hearts of Epilepsy Foundation® is a nonprofit organization, focused on providing services that address the critical needs of people with epilepsy and their families – helping them maintain the best quality of life. Living with epilepsy is unpredictable and may decrease or increase in severity over time. This presents physical, emotional, and financial challenges families must face. Therefore, we're here to provide the support, education, and assistance needed to adapt to these challenging circumstances. Our primary focus is on providing individuals with epilepsy the help they need to maintain their health and well-being, to continue to be productive and independent, and to a safe environment in their homes. We do so with empathy, resourcefulness, and conscientious care.

MISSION STATEMENT​ 

​

​Hearts of Epilepsy Foundation's mission is to improve the quality of life for people living with epilepsy in Shelby and Desoto County; by providing measurable support services and programs. Our mission is to heighten public awareness of epilepsy and SUDEP (Sudden Unexplained Death in Epilepsy). Our mission is to educate and increase knowledge about epilepsy and seizure management among families, students, school personnel, and businesses within TN-MS. Our mission is to shift the conversation from lack of knowledge and understanding, and to put an end to the misunderstanding, silence, and negative stigma associated with epilepsy.
