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.
The Epilepsy Network is a worldwide community of people with epilepsy, family and friends, uniting to talk about their experiences, learn information about epilepsy, ask questions and so much more! Don’t let epilepsy defeat you, let it inspire you!
