Our mission is to improve the health and well being of Veteran patients with epilepsy and other seizure disorders through the integration of clinical care, research and education. CARE WE

PROVIDE AT VA PUGET SOUND HEALTH CARE VA Puget Sound health care is 1 of 16 Epilepsy Centers of Excellence (ECoE) that are linked to form four regional centers. Our ECoE seeks to provide

high quality clinical care to Veterans with epilepsy with state-of-the-art diagnostic and therapeutic services. We also promote outreach and educational efforts for both patients and their

physicians to further the understanding of this chronic condition.  From epilepsy clinics, patients can be directed to the most advanced testing methods for the evaluation of epilepsy,

including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), electroencephalography (EEG), and other neurodiagnostic evaluations. For those patients requiring intensive testing, the ECoE offers video

monitoring inpatient units for examining seizure types more closely in a monitored setting. The ECoE is also linked with VA polytrauma centers to increase the ability to follow Veterans with

traumatic brain injury, who are at the greatest risk for post-traumatic epilepsy. The ECoE is developing ways to better identify Veterans with epilepsy and referral networks to enable

Veterans to obtain specialized treatment. Services we provide include: * Seizure clinic, outpatient epilepsy education for patients and family * Long-term Electroencephalogram (EEG)

monitoring unit. * Daily outpatient EEG clinic  * Epilepsy research GET CONNECTED WITH OUR CENTER OF EXCELLENCE If you are a Veteran with seizures and are interested in seeking services from
