        We are heartbroken to hear about the passing of Dr. Charlotte Dravet.

Her incredible work changed the lives of so many in the epilepsy community, and her legacy will live on in the families, researchers, and advocates she inspired.

We were honored to welcome Dr. Dravet to speak at our Brain Storm Summit Conference in 2015 - a moment we will always remember.

Thank you, Dr. Dravet, for everything. 💜

Recognizing and understanding these risks is essential for safer, more effective care. This month, let’s support AANHPI individuals with epilepsy by promoting education and awareness.
