Epilepsy Centers of Excellence Discussion About Seizure Disorders

Allan Krumholz, M.D. is a neurologist and Director of VA Maryland Health Care System’s, Epilepsy Center of Excellence. New research and treatment discoveries are routinely driving best practices at the VA Epilepsy Centers of Excellence (ECoC) for veterans suffering from brain injury and seizure disorders. Important education and family inclusion about the brain’s condition and effects on social functions, including employment and driving are vitally important to quality of life. 

Regina McGuire, Nurse Practitioner, shares the integrated care and support provided to the families and caregivers and veteran Brian Farkas also joins our program, sharing his personal story and improved health outcomes.  The Epilepsy Centers of Excellence are also featured in this video about increased risk of seizures in veterans with a penetrating TBI:  http://bit.ly/TBIepilepsy.  

There are 16 VA Epilepsy Centers of Excellence tied to four regional polytrauma sites for additional focus on brain injury and specialty integrated care.
