Local children and adults with epilepsy now have a treatment center close to home.
A new epilepsy center at Carle’s main Urbana campus is treating patients who had to travel as far as Springfield, St. Louis or Chicago for specialized care for the potentially life-threatening condition that causes chronic seizures, Carle officials say.The new center has two epilepsy specialists, one for adults and one for children — and offers such services as a 24-hour monitoring unit for diagnosis, inpatient treatment for the acutely ill, illness management for outpatients and epilepsy surgery.
